So, I'm looking for a guitar. Because I want to play the guitar.

I am thinking either an electric Fender or Gibson. What would you recommend?

Try looking for something else other than Fender or Gibson. There are a lot of good guitars that won't cost you an arm and a leg. But will play as good as Fender or Gibson.

Well, I'm using a Wechter Pathmaker...

http://www.wechterguitars.com/models/model-9100.htm

It's a local thing. I like it. It had a scratch on it so they sold it to my parents for about $600. They're normally about $2500, I think.

I've only been playing for about a month though.

i also own a gib les paul classic. round 1800. I bought a Cort acoustic guitar. i never had to buy another acoustic guitar again, this thing is amazing. Plays good (for me anyway), sounds amazing, and the electronics in it, are fairly decent. I picked mine up for round 400 with a case. Id recommend Cort, i own 2 cort guitars and probally my best guitars.

Use the stiffest picks you can find. You don't want it to bend much at all.

I like 1.5 MM plastic ones... like Yngwie Malmsteen uses.
