My Bro has me working with him at his auto shop so i've been earning some money. I figure that if i save for a couple months i'll have 600-700 dollars. So with that in mind i've come to a sort of crossroads. I want a better guitar (cause the one i got is a shitty garage sell no-name guitar) and i also want a laptop so I need help deciding which one to get. I would love it if you guys would be able to drop a hint, the reason behind it and if you choose guitar, which would be a good choice for a a slight beginner. (I've been playing for a some months but i'm not super amazing awesome at it.)

Get a better guitar, the laptop will be obsolete in 3 months :) And you'll be less likely to upgrade to a new guitar if you get a good one to start.

OR.....Go to www.rondomusic.com, any of the electric guitars that are there are made of the EXACT SAME materials as a MIM Fender Strat. The pickups are a bit cheap, but you can replace those, and if you put in a little work, for $300-400 you have the equivalent of a $800 guitar. I'm getting one of the SX Hollow Bodies in the next month, it's $225, but is solid Maple, EG6....it's awesome.

Then you'll have enough left over for a very low end laptop.

@Salem: What type of guitar?

@jhemple: Thx for the suggestion, i'll consider it and look at the guitars. (Is it difficult to change pickups? Is it something that i should take to my local music store to help me with?

@Jacob: I want a computer to call my own. P: I have to always borrow my sisters laptop or use my family computer.

Does the fact that it's thin change much of anything? Oh, yeah, what else should i get? I need a new amp and I want to start adding some effects so what will I need to do to add some effects on my guitar? (I've decided I'm gonna save up for a guitar and then save up some more for a lap top. P: (And if i go with jhemple, what type of pickups should i switch on to the guitar if i was getting, say, this one: http://www.rondomusic.com/st802n3ts.html

The fact that it's that thin makes it EXTREMELY comfortable and light, but also the S series are just great guitars all around

All this is great, of course, but if I were you, I would still think a little about the future and try to buy bitcoin anonymously. In my opinion, this is an excellent idea today, since the value of crypto is constantly growing. Do any of you currently use bots for crypto trading? I advise everyone to pay attention to the offer from NapBots.

Oh, dude, it seems to me that you need to change something in your life, because if I were you, I would have thought of something long ago so as to earn more and allow myself more. Have you thought about crypto trading? I'm currently investing in cryptocurrency using the https://changelly.com/exchange/btc/usdt platform and I think it might be a great platform to get started with.

Of course! In the long run, cryptocurrencies will give you much more profit than stocks, because volatility in cryptocurrency markets is much higher than in stock markets, which means that cryptocurrencies can rise in price several times in a few hours.
In the long term, I advise you to buy ETH, KSM, 1INCH, DOT and of course BTC. You can easily buy these cryptocurrencies in buy bitcoins with debit card no verification . Fast transactions, low commissions. What else do you need?
