Okay so for starters i have two guitars, Fender's, a white Squier Strat, and a black Squier Strat. I bought the black one for 230$ @ Guitar Center in San Marcos. The second one i got from a friend who found it in the apartment he moved into. I'm not a patient person so i never learned much, mostly because I never really picked it up to try. Recently i tried to sell both of them on craigslist.org, i got some phony-donkey offers like some guy that's gonna send his horses to pick it up after its shipped to his province in Canada... I clearly posted that the items posted are for local pickup & cash only, so i got a whole bunch of stupid offers like the one above. i kinda give up because my next option is to sell them at a pawn shop or back to guitar center, and neither are gonna give me a fair sum of money. So I decided to keep them and try to learn again, i have come across some problems with learning, and that is that i always want to learn Über-hard riffs or solos like:

or

so as you can see I'm pretty ambitious. The first part is to learn the basics so that's what I'm gonna do. But the problem is my guitars don't sound the way I want them to sound, something a technician can easily fix. I have no idea where to find a guitar tech around my area, its almost as if they don't exist, the other option is to get myself a nicer guitar and a nicer amp. I want to get a Epiphone Les Paul, they run at about 300-500$ that is around the same price range as a PS3, I want both :P but i prolly won't manage both for awhile and I have to choose one because MGO & MGS4 are coming out soon. What do you guys think I should do?
