Can anyone recommend me a solidbody electric guitar with nylon strings and a classical neck? I can't find any!

You are probably up a creek on this one. Your best bet for something a little cheaper than $2000 is to look into Godin guitars. I can't remember ever having seen a guitar like the one youe are describing, but I have seen some that have a more compact body and on- board electronics. Try contacting local music stores for more info. Good luck on this one..... if you can find one I think that would be a fairly interesting guitar!

Well, you need to play with whatever is the most comftorable for you. This is going to be a learning process, as you may find different strings over time that suit your needs. \n\nWhat I suggest doing is going with a medium gauge of strings first. If you are playing electric, this would bee something where your high E string is about .010. As you progress you may want to go lighter or heavier depending on what style of music you play. \n\nPersonally I like using Fender or Ernie Ball strings on my Stratocaster. Dean Markley and Martin both make excellent strings for acoustics. D' Addario is also a good brand.

you can get a good fender for that price. I'd look at musiciansfriend.com or music123.com they have really good products and prices. That's where I got my Strat and my drumset.

Pick for sound quality not looks. There alright but really matters how much your spending.\n\n\nCLASSIC- that would be the thunder bolt guitar I think that was like one of his first guitars.

It is a personal preference.  Each brand and model has a slightly different shape to the neck, height to the strings, action, tone, etc.  I can give you some advice on picking one, though.  When you go to try them out, put a strap on it and play it like you're playing live.  If it falls off the strap, feels weird, hurts your hand, sounds bad, etc. then do not get it.  I would only purchase an instrument that felt perfect to me, whether it was expensive or cheap.  I've got one bass that only cost a few hundred dollars, but when I practiced with it at the store, among other things, I noticed that it has a super strong neck which doesn't bend the notes when jumping around on stage.  I have played many that were thousands that didn't feel nearly as good because they just didn't fit me + my playing style right.

You can find a decent Bass for under $200.  A bass guitar is the top 4 (sometimes 5)strings on a regular guitar. Learning the basic frets..and their relationship to the strings and chords. E A D G (B) Strings.  E#, (# = SHARP)  F F# G G# A A# B (NO SHARPS OR FLATS)  C C# D D# BACK TO E. Strings go Top (Biggest) to E A D G B E (Littlest)  Get a tuner also..It might look alien now...but soon you will understand.  PRACTICE is the answer.    Have a blessed day

The Les Paul Studio has a Maple Top, with a Mahogany Back .Not cheaper wood at all !! The studios just don't have the fancy finishes that the customs have , and the studio doesn't have binding around the body and neck . Mine is a gloss black color that looks awesome ,even with no binding around the body or neck .I wouldn't trade mine for anything !\n\nThe Studio model features dual-humbucking pickups which are offered in the more-expensive Les Paul models, as well as the same solid mahogany, carved-top feature. It does not have as many aesthetic appointments as the pricier models, giving it a more basic look. Most noticeable is the lack of body and neck binding, and lack of pearl inlays on the headstock.\n\nI love my les paul studio !\nHere's a few links for you , including all details and reviews of the Les Paul Studio !

It depends entirely on what you are looking for in an acoustic guitar and what style of music you're aiming for.  \n\nIf you want a folk guitar for finger picking and you want it to sound delicate, warm and beautiful you can not go wrong with a hand built guitar from English makers Brook Guitars.\n\nIf you're looking for something to bash out chords on in a fairly strident way, you can't go wrong with a Martin dreadnought.  \n\nThe best thing to do is go to a guitar shop, pick out about 5 or so from the major makes they sell and try them out against each other.  \n\nThink about the tone you want, the definition of each range (bass, mids, treble) and work out from there which suits you best.\n\nI play a Tenessee, a little known German make who make fantastic guitars at very good prices.  It has a sweetness of tone and a bit of volume as well.  I also play a Crafter 12-String which is lovely, but cheap.\n\nI've played guitars made by most of the big names - Taylor, Martin, Gibson etc. but I have to say for beauty and tone the Brook takes the biscuit (it belongs to a friend and I've used it for recording).

You didn't say what you meant by "affordable".  Most Les Paul copies aren't very good.  Epiphone's tend to be the best...because well...the same factories make Gibson Les Pauls and Epiphone Les Pauls.  You can probably find what I would call affordable Epiphones all over the place.  If you're just looking for the basic shape, ESP makes pretty good affordable guitars, and they have a few with the Les Paul shape.  Ibanez makes a few Les Paul shaped guitars that sound pretty good.  I've never heard of Encore guitars...and if you haven't ever heard one or played one, I wouldn't recommend getting one.  The same goes for any brand that you've never heard of.  Just as a few of the other responses have said...go to a local music store and try a few out to see what you like.  You might find that there's another guitar for you...Les Paul may have invented the electric guitar...but even he played guitars with shapes other than the one named after him.

I have been playing guitar for the past 30 years. I too play a variety of music and have owned many guitars. I would say from my experience that it really depends on you and what you are attemping to play. I had both a Fender Strat and a Gibson Les Paul (plus others). As an example the Gibson was more versatile where as the Fender has a thin neck to really rip out a riff or two quickly. I would suggest going to a music store and play both or many to see which "feels" and sounds right for you. Another is to find articles or info on the net of artists that are playing the music you want to play. I am a huge Paul McCartney fan and I know through research  what equipment he is playing on and for what songs.  This not only helped me learn the tunes accurately but better appreciate the guitars that the pros's use to create what sounds they are getting from them. Good luck in your research!!

A lot of it depends on what kind of sound you want.  If you want a brighter sound (more treble), then you might want to look into Fenders.  If you're real short on cash, they have a line (I think) called Squier that sells slightly less-quality guitars for a lot cheaper that still have a good fender sound.  If you want a warmer sound (more mid-range and bass), then Gibson would be the way to go.  Their cheaper line is called Epiphone.  Honestly, I'd say a good thing to do would be to go around pawn shops and guitar stores, find some guitars that are in your price range, then play them all through the same amplifier (or run them all through a couple of different amps).  That way you can find an affordible guitar with a sound you like.
