Enjoy your guitar! An electric guitar would be utterly useless for me, I'm all thumbs on stringed instruments. A compact electric piano or synth .. yeah. :-)

IMO, a good hand-held light meter does a much better job of being a light meter than any compact camera does. I recommend the Sekonic L-358 ... I've got the L-328 which has served me very well for more than a dozen years, but I'm really thinking of moving up to the 358 model's larger integrating hemisphere, higher sensitivity, etc etc soon. A compact camera that has ISO <100 and a decent sized (APS-C) sensor ... Hmm. Well, no, I don't know of one. However, fitted with a filter adapter, I can get down to ISO 1.5 using the Leica X2 and a B+W type 106 ND filter (six stops). Does a lovely job, and is a great camera with clean results up to ISO 6400, even 128000 in a pinch too. Excellent lens and controls.
