I'm looking for a new guitar for blues and rock, I'm looking to spend no more than Â£250 with an amp, though I'd rather spend less.
I like the look of SGs, Les Pauls and Strats.
I would like it to be in this store, or anywhere in Belfast (because I'd rather not get a guitar online):

EDIT: Or anywhere you know is really reliable, that ships to the UK.
Thats alot to ask, I know, but thanks to anytone who tries.

Pretty much any of the guitars they have that fall into your price range would be fine. Plenty of people had a Squier Strat as a first guitar. The Stagg's are okay for the money and I really like the Yamaha Pacifica. I tried to focus less on "this style of guitar suits that style of music" and focus on which guitars I could fret easily, and the rest will come from there.

Regards,
Paul

Thanks

What about these:
1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180073403604&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RUPX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=180073396118&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=UpSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

2 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Squier-strat-special-pack-electric-guitar-and-amp_W0QQitemZ180073396118QQihZ008QQcategoryZ33039QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

Getting 1 would mean I need an amp, and 2 comes with a whole lot of other stuff.
I have to say they do seem quite cheap for what they are, but if you go up a step, they just get way too expensive.
