Hey! I am looking into buying a new electric guitar because I’m wanting to get back into playing. I would say I was an intermediate player back when I was in high school, but haven’t really played much in a few years. My budget is around AU$700-1100, so mid-range considering I’m still a bit of a newbie. I’ve been looking at some Sterlings and Squiers, but I’m not sure! Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated!
I wouldn’t say to ignore the looks. Especially for just someone who is not currently playing. The aesthetics should inspire you to pick the guitar up. But absolutely try all the ones that look inspiring to find the one(s) that feel good to play once you’ve picked them up.
You’re right. I should have said “Don’t JUST look at them” :-) Loving how your guitar looks IS important.
