Electric Guitar Review

Looking for a good beginner’s guitar for the aspiring string-bender in your family? the Fender Standard Stratocaster is easily the first guitar I would suggest. Why? Because it’s reasonably priced, and the quality is excellent. In fact, I would argue that for the price you can’t really get a better electric guitar than a Standard Strat.

Now, if you have a sneaky suspicion that your budding young guitarist is going to lose interest quickly, leaving the guitar to collect dust in the corner, you might want to purchase something even cheaper, like the Squier Strat.

But if you think guitar-playing is more than just a fad for your child, or even if you’re a grown-up just looking for a cheap but quality guitar for yourself, you could do far worse than the Standard Stratocaster. A good friend of mine got one of these for Christmas when we were teenagers, and I envied him for years…the thing just played like a dream.
