Squier starter guitars and amps are the best value
for your buck. The Squier Affinity Stratocaster features 3 single

with the comparable quality to the Fender Stratocaster, but at
a lower cost. The Squier Stratocaster is for playing blues and
rock, but if heavy metal or punk is what you are looking for, get
the optional humbucker pickups. |

recognizable sound. The pickups on the Mexican version are of lessor
quality than the American Standard, however they still sound great.
The quality and materials are the best value on the market today,
bar none.
Optional pickup combinations are available to suit
your style of music. |

Description:
The Gibson Epiphone Stratocaster copy has many
of the same features as the Fender Stratocaster except that it
comes with a humbucker pickup in the treble position that will
produce heavy metal and rock tones. Besides the fact that the tuning
keys are lower quality than they could be, this is still a great
Strat starter guitar at a lower price point than the Fender Stratocaster. |

Description:
The Dean Avalanche is another Stratocaster copy,
but cost much less than a standard Stratocaster. The line of Dean
guitars seems to be very well made for the price. The sealed tuning
keys will hold a tune better than the normal tuning keys used on
comparably priced guitars. The sound and playability of this guitar
was great for a guitar in its price range. |
