Review
Great guitar for the price. Good sound and feel for a budget guitar, and still a good name so it should take a little abuse.
Summary
I've been playing with my acoustic for some time now and decided I really did need an electric guitar. With a limited budget, and not a ton of knowledge (or patience :)), I went to a few local shops and found something in my price range (~$200) that felt good to me.
I ended up coming home with a Squier Standard Stratocaster (Rosewood).
I'm far from an authority on guitars, but for a beginner I have to say this guitar feels great, plays well, and with insurance, case, and some accessories it ran me $300 even. Not bad for getting started.
Just thought I'd share, because I'm completely elated! For the price range, do you think this was a decent purchase for a first electric?
I suck, and I'll probably always suck, but if ever stop sucking, and start talking about how good I am all the time, I encourage you to punch me in the head.
