LadyinTears you gotta leearn to be nicer to the newbies man.
Anyway, some guitars you can take a look out for:
the TIMBRE STRAT (eh it impressed me ok! that's a tall order)
Squiers are not really great, but not horrendous to the extent you mentioned.
CORT - These guitars play FARRR better than whatever shit you can get for the
price their sold at (they sell cheap too)
Hamer- Pretty decent for their price.
Also, go around guitar connection at peninsula, good deals are ALL OVER THE PLACE THERE. Look for Kelvin, great guy! :mrgreen:
Pass the ibanez gio series, not worth the price.
