Hi all,
I started out playing guitar more than a few years ago on the same guitar it seems everyone starts on: a Squire Strat. I'm now thinking of getting a better guitar but I don't really know what I want or - more to the point - if I even need one.
I basically play only for me - I'm not in a band (tho I'd like to be, but how to join one?) and I don't record music or anything. I've messed around with effects boxes and better amps and they've given me a lot of options regarding sound (although my effects box is now broke so I'll probably need a new one of those anyway). Given that, am I going to see an awful lot of difference with a better guitar? Everything else being equal, would my playing sound better on a 'proper' strat for example?
As you can probably tell from the post, I know how to play guitars but not much else about em - I couldn't be sure of the difference between humbuckers and single coil for instance. But any advice is appreciated!
Cheers,
MD
