Just to be clear, Im not suggestinig that anyone here said to buy a "cheap" guitar. However, beginners may sometimes go that route. In 2009 there are MANY more strat options open to players than when I got my first in 1991. Unfortunately that American Standard Strat was NOT my first guitar. My first was a Peavey Tracer with non-locking tremolo. This was NOT the guitar to own when your guitar hero of the day was Eddie Van Halen. Tremolo dive bombs led straight to being very-out-of-tune!!
The only thing that guitar taught me was that buying a guitar solely on price point is a mistake.
These days you need to understand what hardware you need, THEN you can shop for price. I do agree that Squier puts out a nice product! but isnt there a Bullet, Affinity, and Standard? He should know what he needs before just buying a Squire right?
In the end, I think were all after the same thing here. Help this guy get into the guitar he needs. Not whatever some sales guy tries to push him into.
