Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
i'd say ur going in the right direction by getting a new guitar!. your dads guitar is probably a bit outdated!. although it may have sentimental value!.

i just bought myself an epiphone les paul 100, absolutely brilliant guitar for the price, great sound and great feel!. not sure how much one is worth in pounds but mine was worth $450 AUD (australian dollars)!. I highly recommend any epiphone guitar, if thats not what u want, maybe a Squire, they're great guitars too!.

But if those guitars are what kinda shape u like, Ibanez have some great metal guitars at reasonably low prices!. great value!.

Good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your Dads guitar just needs a new string putting on, take you guitar with you to a music shop and buy some new strings in most music shops if you say you don't know how put them on they will do it for you! While you are there ask for some advice on what would be a good electric to buy, practice on your Dads guitar whilst saving up a little more money!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Calm down, just buy a new string from a music shop!. They cost absolute pennies!.

Just make sure you buy the correct thickness, and ask the man in the music shop how to tie the strings back!.
