Playing a cheap guitar will saw your fingers raw.
The necks are usually warped and twisted, the strings are too
far off the neck and make playing more difficult, the frets are
usually seated so poorly that you get fret-buzz and it sounds
crappy.
Even though that ebay bid is over I wouldn't pay $15.00 for the
whole thing, it's a toy not a guitar.

Stick to the good stuff.
If you want to play around with distortion devices the BOSS has
tons of 'em.
