what is the best guitar amplifier to buy?

Good question, there are so many to chose from.  You have to ask yourself a few questions first:\n\nWhat style do you play?  What do your guitar influences use?  What kind of sound do you want?  What are your needs?  What kind of venues will you use the amp?  How much are you willing to pay?\n\nTake these answers to the music stores when you shop.  Don't just go to one store either.  Look around and compare.  A drive within an hours distance is worth the trip.  Bigger isn't always better, since most amps get mic’d thru a PA system.  You may be better off with a good 120 Watt amp vs. a full stack.\n\nI recommend a tube amp, they cost a bit more, but you will notice a difference.  Good brand names are Marshal, Fender, Roland, and Mesa-Bogie.  I recommend separate channels if possible.  Don't be impressed with internal effects with distortion and reverb.  Chances are you use quality stomp boxes or processors.\n\nOnce you find a brand you are happy with don’t rush to buy.  Look in the classifieds, eBay, internet searches, or garage sales for a better deal.  Use caution though, you get what you pay for. \n\nBest whishes.

Depends on what style of music you play.Since you say you play acoustic now i would think you dont play a whole lot of metal so,A fender is a guitar for playing classic rock or clean(no distortion.Gibson is nice but very expensive epiphone is a good choice.If you like metal like me a Jackson is awesome or ibanez.

It will "work," but if you ask anybody, you'll find that you really need a true bass amp. The biggest reason is that guitar wattage really won't cut it for a bass. Your sound will suffer, and you could blow something. Or you might just have a lame sound.

With guitars, you get what you pay for. If you're looking for a good beginner guitar, try a Yamaha Pacifica. While they're not the best in the world, they are awesome for someone starting out.

I have a Fender, it's great.  But that would depend on your style and feel for the guitat.  If one were better than the other I think musicians wouldn't use the "other"

www.musiciansfriend.com\n\nwww.music123.com\n\nwww.zzounds.com\n\nOne thing to look for is whether or not the website offers a "low price guarantee". Several years ago I was shopping for a new guitar, and saw that kind of a claim. The particular website said that if you find a lower price they will match or beat it.

Depends what sound you want. If you want a traditional strat sound like Jimi Hendrix had, get singlecoils, if you're looking for more of a sound like Jimmy Page or someone else that uses a Les Paul has, get a humbucker.

you'll need more than one amp if you want clean tone and sound from your vocals and guitar........i would concentrate on an amp for the guitar first......fender makes a great amp for the money....and stay away from crate and ampeg.....bad electronics.........but since your a beginner i would go to a pawn shop and play around till i found something that sounds clean and has great levels.......then you can haggle the price and take home a great amp for $250......you may even get a half stack if you can talk good enough.....lol.......more people quite playing guitar so fast that pawn shops overflow with some great equipment.......well i hope you find what you need.........hit me up if you got any questions and i will help you as much as a bassist can .....lol.......keep music as your salvation...peace

Gibson i think are the best. but alot of blues is done on fender guitars. strats have a distinctive blues sound that you cant get from a Gibson. but if you know how to play, you can make either sound good. its all a matter of personal preference.  some people prefer fender over Gibson. the type of guitar you play depends on the style of music you like and what sound you want from your own guitar. and i like Gibson's.  i have 2 Gibson Les Paul's, 1Gibson S.G. and 1 Gibson Firebird.

The biggest mistake you can make here is to stick with one brand- that doesn't always provide you with best results, as some manufacturers excel at making one product but not another.\n\nMost professional grade AV equipment is compatible with other brands.\n\nA really great source is Guitar Center (guitarcenter.com) or Musician's Friend (musiciansfriend.com) which is actually owned by Guitar Center.\n\nShure manufacture great microphones, wireless mics and receivers.  As for your speakers and amps, the best brand is better determined by the purpose you are needing the equipment- outdoor? indoor?  do they need to be weather proof?\n\nAs for the camera, try crutchfield.com.  Not only do they sell great brands, but their support staff are extremely competent with answering questions.

Not knowing how much you want to spend I would suggest a better guitar brand than the Rouge. \n\nBuying a cheap brand has it's problems, it doesn't hold resale value, rarely has good warranty support, factory made junk that sounds bad and plays bad.\n\nLook for an established guitar brand: Taylor, Washburn, Alvarez, Yahama to name a few.\n\nThings you'll need:\nA hard shel case-offers more protection to your instrument.\nStrings-you shold change strings at least once a month, start with light gauge.\nPicks if you plan to strum.\nSet-Up: a trained luthier should be able to make your guitar very playable. Most new guitars need the action adjusted.\nStrap button-Installed on the heel of the neck. DON'T DO THIS YOURSELF AS YOU CAN SPLIT THE NECK!\nBeginer books\n\nRead up on these links before you buy. Get the best you can afford, it's a worth while investment. Take a friend along who knows something about guitar to help you shop.\n\nGood Luck and happy picking!

Well the best amp I ever played through was a 100 watt Marshall using an Ampeg speaker cab loaded with 4 12inch Altec Lansing speakers. The Guitar I used was a Gibson Les Paul Senior.\nIt was a dream come true.

There is no right or wrong answer for this...If you like a deeper sound with more bass behind it...def invest in a Les. If you like something a little more bright and twangy then invest in a Fender. If you are into punk I think either is a good choice. But all other musical variants are better suited for one or the other.

A good, used 30watt bass amp is probably worth between $80 & $100. Of course, I'm just guessing here. I haven't seen what your idea of "in good condition" is. Try asking around the local music store. Ask them to sell you a good, used 30w amp. This way you'll get an idea what their getting for the same item. Ampeg is a good name.

I have a Burns Marquee, the best guitar I've ever owned. It's won guitar of the year twice and is very popular with professional musicians. It's also the most reasonably priced high performance guitar in the world.\n\nYou can see one here...\nhttp://www.burnsguitars.com/product.php?product_id=marquee\n(Mine is in Green Burst).\n\nI also have a Fender stratocast, a Gibson Les Paul accoustic and an Encore Acooustic-Electric... but the Marquee is by far the best.

Your local guitar store should have it. Guitar Center has stuff like that, and most locl places should carry it.
