I currently own an electric bass, but I'm looking for an electric guitar to buy. Anyone know some good brands that have cheaper guitars?

I have a Jay Turser (which is pretty much a knock-off Gibson). Got it from a pawn shop, and it was insanely cheap. If you're looking for something for like, $50-$90, look there first. If you want a new guitar, I'm currently looking for one, and they can range from $140-$990. I pay more attention to price than brand when I go browse the store, but I'm sure Fender has some cheap, good guitars.Constructs Campaign said:

Fender's intro line is called Squier and Gibson's is Epiphone. Both tend to be really good quality cheap versions of their big sister brands.
Thanks! Right now I have like $100 or something and I haven't been to a guitar center for a while so. But I also asked my uncle about them and he might bring me there. There's also a pawn shop by my work so I might check that out.
I don't know much about electrics; I've only played acoustic. But I saw a used Ibanez for $40 in Guitar Center a few weeks ago. Looked like a decent guitar though. Just needed a bit of work done to it. If I ever move to electric, their used section is definitely the place I'd start.
You shouldn't spend too little. A lot of cheap guitars have a poor sound and that can affect your learning of how to play it.
Some would say that you don't spend less than $200 on an electric guitar. It's up to you, really.
Also, it's important to decide if you want a rock guitar or a metal guitar. Metal guitars tend to have active pickups, while rock guitars usually have passive pickups.

I found a $150 Les Paul Epiphone that I might buy, I'm $40 short though but I'll be able to get it.
