Yeah those are custom made chrome-like bounds, only problem is that it makes the neck a bit wider, but I'm used to it Two humbuckers and 1 singlecoil pick-ups, so it's indeed rockers guitar  About the amp, I'll be able to choose it on wednesday, couse we have a national celebration, so no shop works until wed. Too bad couse I'm dieing to play that guitar right now ^^ Anyways I'll probably go for Laney amp no more than 15w couse I'm playing in an apartament, and I have really limited budget for it. |

Is that a Laney AC15? because a 15W valve amp will be really loud for an apartment - a valve amp is a LOT louder then a solid state |

Mohi, don't buy a cheap amp - it will make your guitar sound shit! Save up by something a little better - otherwise you will regret it. If you can't get a nice amp I would go for pocket pod and phones or similar You will regret a cheap amp - honest |

Could you name any amp that would be at least acceptable to buy for this guitar. |

It depends on what you want to be honest and what you want to play ........... and what you have to spend
If you want on-board effects I would look at Vox VT range, Roland Cubes - Peavey Vyper (although I haven't tried one). Personally I don't like Line 6 - but that is my opinion
Vox Pathfinder 15R are OK if you just want reverb and tremolo
If you don't want effects a small 5w tube amp maybe the way to go Fender Champ 600, Epi Valve junior - but again my opinion. Harley Benton do a small valve amp as well - supposed to be nice. Remember a 5w valve amp will be loud - really loud for home use
For me it would be down to two - Vox VT15 and Fender Vibrochamp XD but again I stress that is MY opinion you might hate them (note they are both hybrid valve amps). I think both those amps would keep you going for a while
BUY CHEAP - BUY TWICE

Most of those amps that you've mentioned seems pretty nice (according to user reviews), but most of those are "lampic" amps, and there's no way I could save up that amount of money. I could buy "transistor" amps that costs less than lets say... 150 USD . I'm afraid to buy something that makes my guitar sound muddy, perhaps I'll find something better from second hand stuff, what I need is basic amp that is suitable for home use and practicing my guitar, since I've never played an electric guitar before.

Nice guitar Mohi! In regards to an amp, the Fender Champ 600 costs 150 USD, and it's a tube amp.

Nice guitar Mohi! In regards to an amp, the Fender Champ 600 costs 150 USD, and it's a tube amp. And that's a fine sounding amp. Roland Cube and Vox Pathfinder 15R are less then $150 Vibrochamp is $199 Mohi, I understand the money situation and you don't have to get a valve amp but try and get the very best you can and try to save as much money as you can. Try as many as you can. Your amp will make up a large portion of your tone - more so then your guitar. You are a good player and if you get a poor amp you won't be happy with it |

How about this - it is a rebadged Epiphone Valve Junior with a added tone control They get pretty good reviews and don't be fooled by 5 watts it is all valve so it will be loud as a loud thing in the land of loudness www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ga5.htmOnly thing is you can only get it from Thomann but they do deliver to Lithuania |
