Regarding the eternal debate of “good guitar or shitty guitar with good amp?”, I’ve always had the same opinion as this guy.
“A great guitar and a cheap amp, any day of the week. You see a lot of this sort of thing floating around in discussion boards online as to where’s the best wishes place to spend your money – and you play the guitar at the end of the day, you don’t play the amp.”
“Well, I guess you do in the most literal sense, but if you have a guitar that is awkward to play or it’s uncomfortable or it doesn’t inspire you then it’s irrelevant how good the amp is. It’s only going to be amplifying noises that you’re not fussed about. So I would categorically say, spend your money on a good guitar first and foremost.”
Many will disagree, though. Interesting interview, worth reading:
