if your just getting started then use what you have until you feel like
you want to continue with playing. its my opinion that better equipment
will encourage you to play more often.
why? because you like what you have and you will want to spend more time enjoying your investment.
that being said lets get back to you.
now, work with what you have. the above post that suggested that you have a pro set the guitar up for you isnt a bad idea.
there might be something off just a bit that could use a little work
to make the guitar more playable.
if your going off others word but like what you have, dont fret.
ok if you compare a squire to a paul, yeah the squire will get the thumbs down. i'll take a squire any day and make it better. add pickups, add a floyd, some locking tunes, whatever i might want or have on hand at the time.
i use to buy cheaper guitars and build on them and have turned out some really nice guitars. stuff i felt comfortable leaving the house with to gig at the local dive. who cares what people think as long as its serving your needs right now? as your needs and tastes change so will your equipment.
i use to set up for a country group yrs ago. the guitar player had
several nice guitars to choose from. strats, tele's, and a couple of pauls.
the only freakin guitar i wasnt allowed to touch, or anybody for that matter,
was this old pos KAY guitar. im serious. a freaking sears guitar at best.
thing is, he reworked it and it was his fav. it felt good to him and sounded exactly the way he wanted it to. his other guitars were high dollar. that sears Kay guitar he probably had $200 in. you see what im getting at here?
