Re: Guitars
I see the Argos Elevation ones a lot in the kind of talentless bands you mentioned.

I was quite amused to see an act at Eurovision on one of these a few years ago.

EDIT: Ugh, just read the Argos description: "The Elevation Full Size Electric Guitar with 15W Amplifier is the perfect kit to kick start your musical career! With a classic design, the full size Elevation has a maple neck and 22 frets on a smooth rosewood fretboard. Complete with a 15W Amplifier and lead, you will be able to practise your rocking riffs at full volume." They should be shot.

as someone who knows nothing about this
But wouldn't mind learning to play guitar.
Would this be an ok model to learn on without a massive investment though.

No, no it would not...
But depending on what you call "massive investment"
£400 odd should see you with something
a) worth playing
b) worth selling on once you either outgrow it or decide your work here is done.
