The best electric guitar for a beginner?

oh aye im left handed and all! Do you have to get them specially strung??? Even electric guitars?

on second thoughts which way round does a guitar go for each hand...Think Im gonna have to trial one cos Im right handed for some things!! Dont want to just buy one then discove i cant play it properly!

I play the weird way of using a right handed guitar but playing left handed, so it is upside down, and I've tried it right handed, and I tried re-stringing it left handed but I find it suits me better to play this way.

I only have a nylon string acoustic at the moment but am getting an electric one after Xmas. I'll have to get a proper left handed one for the shape, but is it as easy to restring an electric one as an acoustic? Otherwise I'll have to just take it to a music shop in town.

Basically it's just as easy. Just get one with a fixed bridge, not a Floyd Rose - floating one.

And you can get an electric that's a symmetric shape, like an Gibson SG or such. You can play those regardless of the handness (??).

Well my budget is limited so I'll just get a standard started pack with the little 10w amps and such, and I prefer the strat type shape anyway. If I can't restring it myself I'll just go to town and ask at the music shop.
