I'm thinking of buying an electric guitar (lemmy.world)

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 can get it with a return window so you can try it out would be ideal. I have a mooer prime p2 that I use but it has an annoyingly loud noise floor that makes playing clean very unpleasant. I used to use a joyo zombie amp with headphones and bt in and it worked pretty well. It's a bit more of a set up though. If you do get the s800 write a short review, we'd love to know how it fairs.
