Well, my birthday is coming up in March and my mom has agreed to get me an electric guitar.
I've never owned one, and i really don't know what brand and stuff it best for leftys.

Def under $300. And like something with an electronic feel. And no, not really. Just color. |

well starting out its best to get a used guitar (local guitar shop or guitar center, craigslist)
theyre cheaper than buying new and they might even be better because they have been cared for and set up correctly
i wouldnt suggest buying on the internet, you have to play the guitar, make sure it feels right and fits you well
also dont spend all the money on a guitar, you need other things:
an amp, you need to hear yourself
a chord to connect the amp, a little obvious
a case or stand, or both you dont want your guitar getting hurt
strings, when you play you might break a few
picks, really cheap but needed, dont use anything else (no coins)
lessons?? are you learning from a book? internet videos? person??

Well, i had a guitar teacher, but my mom didn't think he was very good, so I'm i the process of getting another.
I took at least a year of lesson though.

Ibanez makes a good electric that's fairly priced.

Whatever you do - don't get a squier-copy. They're rubbish.

you can get one and put $400 bucks of someone else working on it and have it sound and feel like one that cost more than $1000 |

except for the fact that they are only useful if you put a distortion after it, or with a wah also. clean sound, rubbish. versatility, what versatility? try playing anything other then rock on it and you will find it to be rubbish. |
