Thanks guys for the positive feedback. Not only is my squier fine to get me going but it has sentimental value. It was a gift from my brother and it's signed by John Mellencamp. I'm such a beginner and I was just looking for some input on my gear. To be quite honest Even if it was a total piece of junk it still will serve it's purpose in getting me started playing guitar. For many years I've wanted to learn and now I'm doing it. One step at a time. To me nothing is cooler than making that axe hum. Thanks for the support to everybody.
