I wouldn't get rid of my squire as it was my first every guitar and has sentimental value, but it is a real piece of ****. When I turn up the volume on a distortrion channel the feedback from the valueless facotry pickups is the worst I've ever heard from a guitar. Don't buy a squire even for its minimum price.
