Do you have your lessons on dvd. Thanks
i saw the list for your top 5, really a squier? as you said “Guitar manufacturers tend to cut corners with cheaper guitars, by using cheaper pick-ups, and hardware, but these are all upgradeable parts.” have you tried a CORT guitars or AXL badwater series? FOR about the same price or little more you can get a better guitar without upgrade the parts. who wants to buy a guitar then upgrade the parts on a low end guitar? Have you look at the Cort G210?
It as basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, power sound pickups,EG5B/EG5B/EG4B (S-S-H) pickups, Full action II tremolo, I know its does’nt say FENDER on them but they are way better quiality made than a squier,but at least you dont have to upgrade the parts on the Cort when you advance your guitar playing
What about the Samick Malibu or other products….the name on the guitar does not guarantee quality

Most of the list is pretty legit… but the squire? Probably one of the worst guitars ever made. Not to say Fender is a bad brand, but their low end models are usually terrible. On the other side though, I myself own an Epiphone G-400 (SG guitar) and am very happy with it. All you really have to do is replace the muddy factory pickups it comes with, adjust the action (how low the strings are to the neck), and change out the strings. I also have a Gibson Explorer, but I still prefer my Epi over it. Ibanez makes some pretty good guitars that are in the $200-$500 range too. So my advice, go with an Ibanez or Epiphone, then switch out everything you can (pickups, tuners, electronics, nut, bridge, and even the strings make a difference.)
