Beat this guitar

Right I'm looking to buy an electric guitar and amp, I've had an acoustic for a while now but really need to start thrashing some power chords out.

My budget is around £200 and I am on the verge of buying this setup:

What do you think, if you had my money what would you buy (guitar wise obviously).

Yep first electric

How will the difference in pickup configuration between the 112 and the Ibanez effect the output?

Must say It's hard to ignore all this 112 advice.......

I'm pretty much swayed.

Can somone recommend an entry level Amp alternative?

STOP - I HAVE MADE MY DECISION!

Just like to thank everyone for the advice, you will be pleased to hear (or possibly not that bothered) that I ordered the following last night:

Yamaha Pacifica112MX

Roland Cube 15

I was going to get a few lessons (know a very reputable teacher) just to bridge the gap between acoustic and electric.

My 112 arrived yesterday and I'm really really pleased with it. I can see my playing progressing a lot more than I expected now.

The amount of different tones I can acheive with the Roland Cube is amazing.

It's definetly the right combination for me, the guitar will do beautiful clean tones that will probably put my acoustic out of action for a while and then flick the switch on the amp and it just turns to brutal crunching destruction.

It freaking rocks! :eek:
