Guitar beginner question


I'm looking for beginner's electric guitar that I want to practice on blues, jazz and some rock.
My main influence guitar players are Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix in the blues side and Mike Stern on the jazz side.
How much money am I looking to spend?
Can I use e-guitar through home speakers and how?

Just a suggestion for a new guitar, Cort Matt Murphy model is nice, the p.u.s can be split to get both single coil and humbucker type sound. Body is in wood similar to mahagony in density, neck is comfortable (at leat to me) fretwork is nice. The big head gives good sustain. I still kick myself thinking I could have gotten a brand new one for $549. CDN but my wife said the colour was ugly, reminded her of sponge toffee. Never ask your wife or girlfriend what they think of components or guitars. Even if you don't agree with their position, it will play on your mind, By the way, get yourself a tube amp. My recommendation: Fender Blues Junior. Oh, and unless you are truly gifted, don't expect to sound like B.B., SRV or Gatemouth Brown any time soon. Good luck in your endeavours in the new year. Regards, from a mid-fi kind of guy.
