The story is a little long for me, but I'll try to make it as brief as possible:
My first was a squire strat, in high school. I only had it for a few months and sold it because I wanted a "better" (more expensive i should say) guitar to get an ibanez s470. I had no idea what a good tone was and just wanted to learn to shred metal. But several years passed, and i lost interest in guitar. So I let my brother "borrow" the ibanez since it wasn't being played at all. Then I started a band as a vocal/rhythm guitar and asked my brother if i can have the ibanez back, only to find out it had been sold to a pawn shop (I was pretty damn pi**ed). Then I bought an acoustic and a prs se custom (which I love). However, I became so attracted to that clean bluesy tone of the strat, and I decided I had to have one. I searched hours on ebay for a used american strat. I thought I had a good deal on a 2003 strat that was in "excellent condition" and when it finally arrived, I saw a piece of crap with rusts, dings, and scratches. I also think the guitar smelled like beer. I ended up returning the guitar, and bought a 2008 american standard from a more reputable ebay seller. I'm very happy with it and trying to find a good amp to go along with it.
