as someone with a cheap amp and guitar this feels like a punch to the gut 💀

[pepelaugh]

As someone with no amp, no guitar and no money to buy any of them this hurts my soul

Clearly, we need great guitars, AND expensive amps! Done.

Me looking at your first amp saying “hm that looks familiar” and then realizing it’s right next to me

As a person with a $20 acoustic guitar I see this as absolute pain

[johnnytightlips]

Generally, a cheap guitar will more than likely sound good through an expensive amp. An expensive guitar will more than likely sound crap through a cheap amp (exceptions to the rule of course)

Edit: crap may be too harsh - but you will certainly notice the difference in sound quality between cheap amp/expensive guitar vs expensive amp/cheap guitar - the latter is, 90% of the time, better on the ear

As an expensive guitar, this really hurts my ego. But I shouldn’t fret to much

[SuperIperMegaTriper]

His very first amp is more expensive than my whole setup lol

expensive amp gives off a nice sound while the expensive guitar gives you a nice feel while you play

[nickolasecker]

Absolutely, my best suggestion for those starting out in electric guitar is to skip the cheaper amps, even if you have to save up for a bit, start out with a good amp, you can buy a used blues junior, pro jr, Roland jc40, blues deluxe or a vox ac15 for around $350-500 especially if you check local listings. Eventually you might want a Princeton, deluxe reverb, twin, ac30, tweed Bassman or something with higher headroom or fancier build whatnot. Yet those amps I had mentioned in the $350-500 range will sound remarkably better than anything in the $100-300 range 9/10. I’d also implore you to invest similar money at minimum into your first electric. The following guitars are recommended and can be found new or used in the $350-500 range: Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster, anything in the Squier Classic vibe range, Epiphone dot, danelectro models, used grestch models, most of the used Epiphone les Paul’s in that price range will work well too. The more you invest into your starter gear, the more inclined you will be to practice.

never have i ever heard someone test guitar tone with a Rafa Rodriguez riff, u got good taste

[theinvoluntarybeatboxer]

I feel like if u looped a clip of the cheap one and played the expensive one u could write a really good somg

[hippoheadstudios]

Nobody’s talking about how his “cheapest guitar”….
Is a suped up partscaster

[ezrabeaton]

The fact that your cheapest strat is an HSS strat made me feel broke

[MrMd]

It took me years to learn that good amps are the key to good tone. I had owned 3 usa strats & a les paul before I learned this though. Now I always put more emphasis on my amps & take a diff approach with my guitars

[BigJack]

“Inexpensive” “Strat” never thought I’d hear those 2 words in one sentence

[really]

As someone who started playing in an era when the only affordable amps were solid state, I cried when I finally got a tube amp about 20 years later
