Hi, Looking to get myself a new Guitar that is versatile, in the sounds I can get from it, and a well made instrument. I don't want to pay over the odds for extra bling nice finish, that isn't going to make any difference to my ability or sound produced. I like a wide range of music and styles including AC/DC, Clapton, Ry Cooder, BB King, Chili Peppers, Megadeath, Pearl Jam....the list goes on might of been easier to list what I don't like
So I would like to be able to get blues and country and occasional heavy rock sounds form my new guitar do you think this would do the job ? looks like a lot of guitar for the money appreciate any opinions
thanks

( Yamaha dealership) it's a bloody brilliant guitar.
I will happily cover anything from Metallica to Frozen.......
The neck is quite slim, something to bear in mind, I'm a Les Paul/PRS guy do I found it unusually narrow, but that's just my opinion, I've heard it's quite vintage Fender in feel.
As with any guitar, I'd really suggest working out your budget and visit a couple of shop and try EVERYTHING at that price point ( give or take £100)
As you never know what might take your fancy.
Oh and try them all on the same day if possible, neck feels are hard to remember.
Edit - I'd also echo what others have said which is that although it's a perfectly capable guitar it does lack a certain something in the personality department.

Edit - been thinking about this a bit more and think it's something to do with identity if that makes sense. A Strat is distinctively and recognisably a Strat. A Tele is distinctly and recognisably a Tele. Same goes for a Les Paul. To my ears my 311, though perfectly good, didn't really have its own distinct sound to make it stand out from the crowd.
