I've been playing (acoustic) guitar more and more recently after a break of ten years or so and now I'm thinking about picking up my electric again but I sold all my gear a long time ago and guitar world has moved on a long way since then.
This is a bit of a Gearslutz type question but I know I'll get a more measured response here so please indulge me...
I'm looking for something which can do clean, crunchy (bluesey) and into distorted (more Van Halen than Metallica) though I can use pedals for distortion if necessary. There are so many options that I could do with some guidance.
Question 1 : What can I buy for cheap that will get me going?
Question 2 : What's the money-is-no-object option?
Question 3 : What's available in the DIY world that could satisfy the above criteria?
Looking forward to hearing some thoughts and opinions
Cheers!
