« Squier Strat »

I purchased the guitar from a catalogue(Index)around six months ago.It came with a ten watt amp for £229.99.Now I think to myself why?,but then again it was my first guitar and at the time I didn't care what it sounded like or what make it was, as long as I had a guitar.(I'm sure you've all been there!)

Well..erm....It has nice clean tone,usually stays in tune fairly well and the neck is fairly comfortable.Also,it's not the worst looking guitar i've seen

This list is unfortunatly quite long,where do i begin.Well as a beginner this guitar seems to be a fairly decent .....until you actually have the chance to try guitars that are fairly decent and you realise this isn't.As a Korn fan this guitar just doesn't suit my taste at all(Thank goodness i got an Ibanez 7-String).For one:the pickups are completely useless,I suggest you don't even try to palm mute with distortion on this guitar
Two:It Lacks alot of sutain
And Three:I've heard stories of people who tried opening these things up,I haven't tried yet but supposedly the inside of them is totally messed up with loose wires and the such so.....doesn't appear to be well made.

As i said the inside of them is messed up so you can tell they are definetly not well made.Even though i've never needed it fixed(I Wouldn't Waste The Time Or The Money!),it has lots of little hitches ie:cutting out for no reason,pickup switches are flimsy,cuts out if you turn the volume knob higher than nine.

Oh well it sounds terrible and it is,But,bottom line is it's cheap,Badly made and isn't a proffesional guitar.But if you havent heard any better it doesn't sound so bad.Trust me though,You'll regret buying it in time!!
