Im looking for a cheap guitar to pc interface (hardware), not for professional recording, Im about to buy a guitar and using it through my PC is way cheaper than buying an amp.

BTW im buying a POD pocket too to run the guitar through.

KTHX!

Pick up a used Squier on CL for $50 or so. A good setup and some TLC will make it, as you say, "cheap but not crap."

Well, it'll still be crap, but it'll likely be decent playing decent sounding crap.

a) No CL on spain.
b) A squier what? do they make that kind of equipment?

software to just capture the input? if so, audacity is free, and easy to use.

Ooops, I misread your post as a request for a cheap but not crap guitar that you would use to record with. Nevermind me.

I use this thing and it works great. Paid $60 for it on eBay:

I have one of those and it's awesome! There are a couple of bass amps, and a whole lot more guitar amp models! You can get a good variety of tones out of it, plus it's cheap. I can't recommend it enough
