Can't say I agree with this at all! My amp plays just as much a part of the equation (even more so) then my guitar.
I can get a ****ty guitar to sound good through a great amp but couldn't make the best guitar sound good through a crap amp.
Shoot me! :wink:
It depends. If you love the way the squire plays put money into it. Nice thing about S type guitars you can always piece them out in the future if you want to keep the upgrades you put into it.
I have a MIJ Fernandes Strat LE-2 that I paid $200.00 bucks for. Honestly it out plays my American...
If you want a awesome LP (better then Gibson turns out these days) IMHO, look into MIJ LP types between 1980 and 1992 seem to be the best years for most.
