I totally agree. For beginner and intermediate players, I recommend a Squier, a professional set-up, and a decent amp. That way you get the most bang for your buck.

And for people who get hung up on quality, believe me, today's Squiers are excellent guitars for the price. Here's the analogy I use: The existence of the $85,000 BMW 750i doesn't mean the $21,000 Honda Accord is not a good car.
