effects of bad guitar in learning process?

ok i have a crappy strat. u know, no rod in neck, no name pickups, n u can imagine the whole thing is so "average"...
its intonation not tuned...
so why am i still usin it? as u can guess im a poor, poor guy, eheh...

"if u playin this thing, your ear education will be screwed! and u cant play anything right with "real guitars" in future!"
im sick n tired to hear this...

i feel ok in feeling, u know fretboard has nice action, im really familiar with this poor axe... tone n sustain not bad for me...

so what can i should do? is that really harmfull to go with a bad guitar? :confused:

Can you get the intonation tuned? If you cant for some reason you should try to trade it in. Learning on it will be kinda screwed up, The bad things that can happen when you dont have it intonated is if you try to use it in a band and hit some notes in unison with the bass or another guitar it will sound like nails on a chalkboard. I know i've had that happen before. Also chords will sound kinda nasty.

i dont know man, bridge looks not stable for fine tune on intonation...
i know its probably the worst thing for jam...

i have two choices,
*go with junk, how can it effect u that bad, come on, at least u can keep finger practice, till u get a new one...
*stay away from that junk, save your ear from the crappy noise n wait, till u get a new one...

ps: hail hendrix!!! ;)

Yeah, id keep that guitar, keep practicing but just start saving for a new one.



Ps. Jimi likes his strats.. ;)

orrrrr , because your so used to THIS guitar, you could just pimp it out with new everything. hey, its an idea haha.
