Congratulations on the purchase of your first guitar! I'm sure you will cherish it in the years to come as you develop your playing skills. If and when you buy a "better" (read more expensive) guitar in the future I am sure you will always look back at this guitar as something special.

Like others have already told you, you can't go wrong with a Fender. You didn't mention what kind of amp you were playing this through. Please get the best amp that you can afford to allow the sweet sounds of that Fender to come through!
