Hi wolfsmg,

Good advice here. I definitely agree that you get as much as you put into the instrument. A really cheap Squier can sound great if given enough care and played by the right hands.

And about gear snobbery, I think we're pretty humble here because we're all aspiring or continuing guitar learners and it's so great to have everyone on the same page! That, plus, gear is expensive! Ha.

Best,

Billy
