First of all, thank you all very much!!

I understand a good purchase would be a squier (which btw you keep writing squire ??) and I hope I can find this company's guitars in Israel... 

To jalgebra: I get lessons here from an amateur guitarist for 60 NIS per lesson (once a week), which equals about $13.

While leaving this question open for more suggestions, I would like to ask you for your opinion:

I'm starting to play immediately on an electric guitar while going for rock and metal, is it correct to skip notes and learn tabs only?? (im learning playing techniques too)
