I ought to add that …
I ought to add that i’m not against lessons! – lessons are the best way to get good and learn the correct technique etc. I just mean in some cases its best to experiment and go it alone – look at jazz musicians and rock guitarists – how many are formally trained for years? some yes, not many though. depends what you want / need. enjoying it is better than not playing at all i say

there are lots of electrics out there. fender / yamaha are popular but lots of others. many now come with pre-amp built in so you can plug headphones direct into instrument. depends if you want style / metal / wood / acoustic sound / direct electric sound etc. best to try a few in a shop and see what you like. prices vary a lot , 300 pounds up to a few thousand for top models – 500 pounds is prob the best range to be looking at to start with. my fender was about 550 pounds.

this is tough to answer – lessons can get boring ( lots give up about your age) other things become more important. Maybe try playing because you want to, rather than taking lessons. learn learning a guitar solo, play different ways, experiment. what do you wnat to do? is the real question here.
As you already have an acoustic – maybe get a cheap cip on mic and put it through an amp – try it that way and see how you get on. if it appeals to you then later maybe move on to the electric.

Hey, I used to play …
Hey, I used to play acoustic for 7 years, I am now 16, but i stopped, because it was getting quite boring, so i am thinking about taking up electric. Do you think i should continue acoustic, or electric ? Which violin do you think I should get(I want the most bang for my buck)? and finally what price range should i be looking in?
