I'm a complete beginner, have wanted to learn to play the guitar for a while now (my dad has played for years), and wanna get something. I found the following starter pack and thought it looked decent. I don't need to rock the house down so I thought this amp would work. Also, b/c my dad has a studio and plays he has alot better amps available I can use down the road.
  • Epiphone Les Paul Special II Electric Guitar and Amp Pack Features:
  • * Basswood body
  • * Bolt-on neck mahogany neck
  • * Rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays
  • * 2 open-coil humbuckers
  • * 24-3/4" scale
  • * 1-5/8" nut width
  • * Tone, volume, and pickup switch
  • * Hardware: chrome (black on wine red finish)
  • Studio 15R Amp:
  • * 8" speaker
  • * 15 watts
  • * Reverb
  • * 2 channels
  • * FX loop
  • * Headphone jack
  • Gig bag
  • * Quartz digital tuner
  • * Premium strap
  • * 20' premium cable
  • * Headphones
I thought this would be a nice start @ $250.00. The reviews look pretty good.

Thoughts?

I was looking at this same packedge. Not that bad, but it did feel pretty cheap to hold and play[well TRY to play. Im a newbee] Look at the higher up Epi's They feel,look, and sound SOOOOO much nicer then that Special II!!!!!! A little higher then your bujet, but I played [well tryed] a few in the 300-400 range that were AWSOME. I REALY fell HARD for a Les Paul Goldtop for 499!!!!!!!!!! I ended up getting a loan of a MIM strat, and put my money in a VOX ad30vt amp, but if I stick to it, and lern to play well, one of them LP's will follow me home!!!!!
