Complete beginner — what guitar should I buy and where should I start?

I’m completely new to guitar and honestly don’t know much about guitars or how to choose one.

I want to start learning guitar from scratch, but I’m not particularly interested in classical guitar. I’d mainly like to learn to play songs, chords, melodies, covers, etc.

What type of guitar would you recommend for a complete beginner? Acoustic, electric, or something else?

Also, what should I learn first and what would be a good learning path for the first few months?

If possible, I’d also appreciate some specific beginner-friendly guitar recommendations and things I should look for/avoid when buying one.

Budget: 3.5k

If ₹3.5k is too low for a decent beginner guitar, should I increase my budget, and if so, what price range would you recommend?

Thanks!

Any tips on pickup swaps? I have SSS strat & doing a dual hotrail at bridge 14k ohms

Tldr. I struggled with high action(it was 5mm) & I learnt adjustment etc & made it 2mm & instantly felt it easier & far better playability.

I am into rock & metal so getting a dual hotrail alnico 5 strat sized.

I haven't done it ever.

Any tips?

I'm upgrading my fender Mustang LT25 to a katana 50 gen3. Is this amp worth extra 12k?

Never Buy from Amazon

I just got delivered my first ever guitar Yamaha F280 I was so exited to play it then I noticed the guitar I got from amazon was damaged.

Everyone adviced to to buy from a local guitar store but since it was cheaper on amazon I bought it from there.

Returning it asap hopefully it will return without any hassle replacement is also an option but I am done with amazon.

PS : did someone else also faced this same problem and did you face any problem with returning it

10k- 15 k budget guitar fn

Hey! I’m a complete beginner looking to get an acoustic guitar, but honestly I’m pretty clueless about the specs 😭
The only thing I kinda know is that I’m thinking a 39" would be better since I have smaller hands.
Someone recommended Ibanez as a good brand, but I’m still pretty confused lol. Would really appreciate any recommendations!
even any low budget is acceptable like 7-9k as i am complete beginner.
.
more on what i like as guitar shape
i am attaching image.

Soran Dual Stomp vs GP100

Hi everyone! I am an intermediate guitarist looking to buy my first multi-fx, currently using a Pacifica 112VMX along with my humble Marshall MG-10.
I was originally think along the lines of Soran Dual Stomp but seeing that it is out of stock everywhere i am not confused regarding the choice. I will mostly be playing at my home along the lines of J-rock, Shoegaze and Prog. The Soran seems to be packed to the brim with features but which of them are really useful?
Is the NAM support offered in soran really that useful or not?

Why's there's a crack on new guitar's fretboard?

I've recently purchased a new acoustic guitar strydom f140c and now there's few crack on my fretboard.

This guitar's body is made up of mahogany while the fretboard is of rosewood.

Since I purchased it from a local shop, i can't return or replace it.

Should I apply some lemon oil on it and clean the fretboard? What should I do next? I feel so heartbroken rn

Tremolo bar for Yamaha Pacifica 012

So i lost my tremolo bar for the guitar.

I called the store and they said there is much delay from the purchase date (bought 3 months ago) and they can't provide a new one.

So what actually can be done? The Yamaha website says spare parts and services is free of cost under the warranty.

Should I insist the store on providing me one or should I just buy one instead? It's a 5.2mm screw in tremolo ig.
