What are the best pickups for guitar?

For single coils go for DiMarzzio double stacks. And for humbuckers Seymour Duncan Hot Rods. That's just for hard rock and metal. In my opinion the best single coils are Fender Tex Mex and the best 'buckers are Gibson Burtbuckers.

I think I would go with the Ibanez Tube Screamer. My cousin has one and it sounds really awesome.

For a beginners guitar, dont really matter what brand you buy really because that player will so awful no matter what =D. It's just that fender seems to be the most popular because its prevalently used. What you need to buy is a beginners package like this \nhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Squier-SE100-Electric-Pack?sku=511681\n\nBecause if you just buy an electric guitar itself, then you would have to buy a combo amp(you will need an amp to amplify your guitar) which is going to be like 80-150 + a instrument cable which is like 20 bucks + picks + a guitar tuner. If you buy one of these beginning packages you get the whole deal for a good price. You dont worry about pedals until later on. Only until the player is good enough then he should upgrade. It's much more effiecient that way. If you really want to save money they buy it online. They offer free shipping + no tax on the website that I listed above. You also save time because you won't have to look around much + drive your heavy guitar package back from the store. I learned all this from the hard way and just wished someone would of told me but hey im telling you so spread the help!

Fender will always sound great and it maintains an excellent resale and trade-in value. If you need more distortion with a Fender, simply get a decent compressor or tube driver to plug your guitar into first. Fender is played by all the greats.

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 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.

I got most of my beginner guitar stuff at Guitar Center and other local guitar shops - it was much easier that way and without the hassle of shipping and online buying.\n\nOne good place I would recommend would be musician's friend.  They sell guitars, amps, picks, books, etc.  That's where I get most of my stuff.  They have a free catalog you could sign up for that would keep you updated on sales and whatever else you might want.\n\nwww.musiciansfriend.com

The Fender Squier Mini is an excellent choice. Made by Fender in Japan. Sounds and looks like a Statocaster. $99.00\n\nhttp://www.music123.com/Squier-Mini-i21360.music

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).

gibson, fender, but the best way to find out is to go to a guitar shop and hold it in your hands, try it... the one you feel as "yours" right away it will be yours forever, regardless of the brand...(like the vand of Henry Potter)
