Recommend me a cheap electric guitar

I am absolutely terrible at guitar. So bad that it is
unfunny. Nonetheless, I would like a cheap electric guitar
to connect to Reason and use as a sound source for long FX
chains to make shoegaze.

Given its intended use and my utter lack of skill, I presume
there is little to be gained from an expensive guitar.
Can anyone recommend a cheap electric guitar that might
be suitable?


Presume I know absolutely zero about guitars and you won't
be far off the mark. :)

Thanks in advance zilty.

I like shoegaze

good luck

don't forget to spam your tunes

I'm not sure it'll help but here's a story: once my mate
made me an adapter (of a part of electronic watch, I think)
which I was able to stick to my acoustic guitar - near the
sound hole - and it gathered the sound from guitar. it had
jack-jack cable attached so I could plug the whole thing
even to a home stereo. the strings were metallic, so the
guitar sounded like overdriven electric guitar. I recorded
1 or 2 tapes of experimentations using that. example

Can't go wrong with a second hand squier stratocaster or
telecaster.

I've found ebay is good for finding cheaply made second hand
guitars that go for next to nothing, some of which have
surprisingly good reviews if you do a bit of searching on
the internet.

Washburn WI100 ... no doubt the cheapest best guitar I've
ever bought

2nd hand shop, buy the cheapest one. As long as it stays in
tune, should be no prob.

p.s. In Tokyo I bought a 2nd hand solid-body electric
guitar that was worth several hundred, but since the neck
was changed, it wasn't easy for them to check the make.
Anyway, I got an amazing guitar, nude wood body, solid tone
(though I've only played it acoustically), and it cost me
$10. So- that's the other option-- you can buy a good
guitar for cheap!

Even new, a goodish cheap guitar can be had for less than
$200/100GBP.
