MGR/Adam « Squier Stratocaster Fat Strat »
Published on 11/16/03 at 15:00I bought this guitar at George's Music Superstore for $220.
It is a great beginners guitar. The two single coils and humbucker in the bridge offer a good tonal variety for someone new to electric guitar. I also like the thin neck, which makes it very easy to barre.
Once you become acustomed to electric guitars the pick-up tone leaves you wanting. Also, the floating bridge becomes a slight nuisance when you want to put on strings above the factory installed 9's. It is not hard to get around though, I just put the third spring given to you when you buy the guitar on and the problem was solved.
The quality is really good for how inexpsensive the guitar was. Yet, it is obviously not the best you can buy, but if you want better quality you are going to have to buy a more expensive guitar. Also, the tone quality is somewhat lacking.
I love my strat but it is, as I have said, not the best guitar in the world. But, if you want to learn electric I would recomend this guitar.
