Although I'm not the Paula type of player (I don't like the short measure neck, I got big hands), the Gibsons are always a good choice.
If anyone got some advices, please let me now.
Do you have a guitar player you adore? (I mean: his playing :) )

Romeo: Hmmm, not that i know off... :)

Another thing im wondering, what do you suggest for effects, i mean.. Line6 POD.

Or maybe Native instruments Guitar rig 2 Producer pack.

Ive also see another package with a hardware soundcard with effect pedals as software, kinda like Guitar rig2. But i cant remember what its called atm.

Good luck with the learning O2 :)

I've never been a guitar player myself... though my dad did play the guitar, mouth harmonica and sung..... funilly I do none of that :roll:

I'd surely like to play such a thing as a guitar though.... but I'd rather be playing a MIDI guitar, so that I can get the expression on synth sounds :D .... A wind controller like th Yamaha WX series is also on my list...

@o2:Yeah, my recommendation for producing would be Guitar Rig 2 although I definitely would not recommand any NI hardware - it looks good but is of mediocre quality
(e.g. the drivers of Kore never really worked on most systems - really miserable for a brand like NI)
But since you're starting to learn guitar you should also go for a real amp for practicing purposes, to get to know how a real guitar tone behaves, feels and feedbacks when used with distortion for example. No software is capable yet to simulate this and IMO it's essential to get the right feel for playing the electrical guitar. Guitar Rig is good in imitating the sound of an amp but not the feel of the system guitar/amp/speaker which influences the playing a lot.

Now heres a thing.. Guitarists who you adore.. Unfortunately i go with technical rather than awe inspiring. Thats why i loved Mike Oldfield's style. It's a rare breed these days. Folk as is mike's origin plays the guitar in a very different way than many where as he plucks at each note rather than the more conventional way, it's a rare technique these days but what you get is a crisp clean sound. Mike, although recognised as a great guitarist never actually (very often) gets the plaudits he deserves.

Have you ever watched how make plays the guitar? it's something to behold. how he uses his fingers forwards and backwards at the same time is a joy to to watch. The bloke is a genious!
