I'm a kid looking out for my first electric guitar...

I really like both fender jazzmaster and jaguar, but they cost too much for my wallet... so, the closest thing i can get ( i suppose) is a squier jagmaster, that seems to be a cheap mistura of both or whatever.
Is it a good option?
And about the amp?

appreciated, Fiquem Bem

Get a used guitar that is in decent shape, intonates decently, stays in tune, and doesn't buzz anywhere on the neck. If a guitar plays well, intonates properly, and stays in tune, you've got a killer guitar. If it doesn't sound good, change the pickups.

I'm not sure I'd recommend a Jagmaster to a beginner becuz they're kinda heavy...

But, I supposed you'd get used to it...my first guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, and that was/is (I've still got it) around 9 lbs....I used to be able to play that thing standing up for around two hours before the shoulder soreness became unbearable...and now just the other day I was playing my Heartfield RR58 which is about 6 lbs, and I started getting sore after an hour and a half.

Must be getting weak in my age.

I have a squier Jagmaster, and I love it. The only thing that bothers me is the whammy bar screws up the tunings easily. Overall, it's a good gtr.

If its your first guitar, just get something cheap. Chances are you wont really be able to tell a huge difference in how the guitars sound and it wont really matter anyhow if your not gonna be performing with it. When your ready for something better you'll know.

Be real careful if you're getting a squier, they can be suprisingly great or fairly shit, it's all down to the individual guitar. Test a few of them out, you can find some real gems.
