Hello, few things about me. My name is Mark, im 21, and im from Romania, living in Spain, i listen to Heavy metal, thats my fav genre, i like Black Sabbath, Led, Ac/Dc, Disturbed(Fav Band), Bullet, and so many more,...

- Never played before in my life, im a Really Quick learner.

- My first question is, what guitar should i get.
1. Jackson JS32T Kind V BK --- 290 euros
2. Jackson JS32T Roads BK --- 290 euros
3. Jackson JS32T Warrior BK --- 290 euros
4. BC Rich Black Widow BK --- 215 euros
5. ESP LTD EX-50 BK --- 270 euros
6. ESP LTD F-50 BK --- 270 euros

I try to stay below 300 euros for the guitar.

- My second Questions is, what AMP should i get?

I was thinking about Roland Cube 20x, 30X or 40x.

Thank You.

You can't go wrong with the Roland, they are killer little amps.. As for the axes, there are a few things to think about before you take that first step..

As previously stated, it would be a good idea to stay away from anything with a tremolo, stick to something fixed bridge.. Another thing to consider, as a beginner you will probably spend a lot of time playing while sitting down. As much as the Rhoads shape is loved by all, it is not exactly conducive to playing in a sitting position, although it is slightly easier with the King V shape, it is still no simple task. I have never played a Warrior, so I have no personal knowledge of how well they play while sitting, but the body looks like it should be far better balanced for this.. Something strat shaped would probably be something you should consider first, though.. As for the BC and LTD's, I haven't played anything but Jacksons for over 10 years, and cannot comment on their products... Best of luck, and most of all remember to be patient, you are training muscles to move in new ways and this takes time.. A lot of time, and practice.. Record yourself every two weeks, and listen to your progress as you move along.. It will seem slow, so having that handy to hear yourself improve will keep you from getting overly discouraged too early...

+1 to everything MatreCarrefour said. They're not on your list but have you considered one of these guys?

http://www.jacksonguitars.com/products/ ... &series=JS

They don't quite have the attitude of the other JS guitars in your list but as a new player you may find the basic strat shape easier to get to grips with. Your call though, if you're set on a pointy shape the Rhoads does it for me every time.
In addition I'd respectfully suggest you steer well clear of any entry level BC Rich guitars; Although their professional models are excellent quality their low end stuff is very ordinary, with sound, playability and build quality well below most other brands in the same price bracket. I played ESP/LTD for years and whilst they are great for the most part the cheapest ones can be a little hit and miss: I've played an LTD M-50 that was a beautiful guitar that I'd be happy to own or even gig with and I've played a EX-50 that was good for firewood and not much else. I wouldn't buy a 50 series LTD without playing it first so if you're shopping online one of those might not be the best idea. I guess what I'm driving at is the the Jacksons would definately be my pick out of the options you mentioned, but this being the Jackson forum I'm sure that comes as no suprise :)

Excellent choice :) The JS series is a fantastic option for beginners: great build quality, decent sound and very affordable. Then down the track all you need is a pickup swap and some better hardware and you've got a kick-ass gigging machine. If you get time post some pics in here:
