Many guitarists wonder what is the home of sound.
Is it the wood of the guitar? The chords? The amp? Actually it's the fingers.
Someone else picking up your guitar will make it sound different through style, technique, and attack. After six months you still have many sounds to squeeze out of that instrument. I've been playing the same American Strat for 23 years and she suprises me every day I play her.

It may be that, that particular guitar does not suit your hands, style or playing technique.
I'd wait.
The amp may not be able to push enough wind to give you the "breathe" that you wish.
Your chords / connection could be bad. (check them out and upgrade them first)
If you are effecting (adding effects) try a slightly different eq / tone level. Or make sure that their power source whether it be battery or chord is providing the required punch to push the unit as much as you'd wish.

Every guitarist in the world started out with less than a "Custom Shop" guitar, amp, effects loop.
Enjoy the start. Find out everything you can squeeze out of your present setup before you replace it. ( It will help you better understand your next )

And above all enjoy it.

All the best!!!!!!! :cool:
