I'm thinking of buying an electric guitar (self.guitars)

I plonk bass and klink keyboard. I'm shite at both but it doesn't matter. It's just for fun because I need sorta meaningful things to entertain myself.

I live in an apartment so I'm playing with headphones. I've got the Nux Mighty Plug that sounds all right but the lag on Bluetooth audio is very frustrating. Playing along by ear is ok though annoying with the lag but it is literally impossible for watching video tutorials or play along to tabs.

I'm considering the Mooer S800 electric guitar with built in effects, amp sim and headphone amp with Bluetooth and hopefully not the lag. The idea is to be able to simply pick it up and shred away when the cosmic vibes align and then put it away again. No cumbersome setup or necessary clean up that kills the momentum.

I think €400 seems to be a fair price for the instrument considering it's all included to get started.

Should I consider other options?

If you want a guitar with built in everything check out the Fernandes Nomad Digi-Zo. I had one and it played really well, had an entire effects processor and a speaker built in. It even had a drum machine onboard. It had a headphone jack as well. The guitar itself is travel sized, and had really good playability. The fatal flaw that made me sell it was the fact that it needed to be plugged in, and the wire was only 1.5m so you had no mobility. It was set up for a 9V battery, but it would suck a 9v dry in 20 mins when using the speaker. I wish now that I had researched an upgraded battery pack or just gotten a longer power wire.
