I'm thinking about buying a Squier Stratocaster. This will be my first electric guitar. I'd rather have a Fender, but it's just for practicing purposes, so I figured the extra $200 wasn't worth it. I will probably upgrade to an American Fender Strat someday when I get more experienced and start performing. Does anyone know anything about Squier guitars? I know at least a couple of people here have them. I tried one out at the guitar shop, so I'm pretty sure that it will serve my purposes nicely. Any input will be appreciated.

I'm also looking at a Peavey Blazer amp. Just a small practice amp. I don't know the model or number or anything. Is that a good choice?
