In you opinion, what is the best electric guitar I can buy for $1000 or less?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

There are a lot of brands that make very good electric guitars for under $1000, so I would hesitate to name any particular one as best. Partly it depends on what you want the guitar to do, what style of music you want it for, what kind of neck feels comfortable to you, etc. But there are plenty of good guitars to choose from in that price range. PRS, Fender, Charvel, EVH, Ibanez, Jackson, and ESP, just to name a few. A lot comes down to personal preference, there are many companies that make quality affordable guitars these days.

Most manufacturers make sub-$1000 Models. The question is, do you want a screamer like a Strat or a Jackson, or a more docile guitar like a PRS or an SG style? If you want a guitar that roars, something like a Epi Les Paul would for you.
Bear in mind that a long scale length (like a Strat for example) makes the notes a lot harder to bend. You really need to push hard. The frets are pretty far spread out. Something like a Les Paul has a short scale length and the frets are close together. That makes bending easy but if you have fingers like sausages you might have trouble fitting them all in between the frets to make clean chords.
