Je n’ai guère d'amis
This question relates to:French lesson "Ne … guère = Hardly ever (French Negations)"

Hi Sumesh,
No, you can't say des amis because of the negative ne...guère which works as ne ....pas, ne...plus, etc.
Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson if you have forgotten that rule -
