As a beginner should you get a better amp or a better guitar?
This is a matter of personal preference, but I would say the best choice would be to go for a better amp. The sound produced depends on both the guitar and the amp, (and most of the guitar's tone comes from the type of strings) but the amp usually caries variable options to alter the sound. A great guitar will still sound terrible with a poor amp, but a poor guitar can be made to sound awesome when hooked up to a good amp with a variety of settings. Many high quality amps come with built in effects in addition to their excellent sound control, and are worth spending that extra bit of money on. For examples of well known and reliable amps, try Marshall, Vox and Peavey.
