Thanks for welcome everyone! Excited to begin my journey! When I look online the SR505 I got is usually $650 everywhere, but it was on sale at GC for $550 and I had a coupon and got it for $450. Felt like stealing :hiding:

Update: So I went to the music store to test drive some of these recommendations. No Matt Freeman model there but the other Squiers were pretty dang good. Now don't get me wrong, these were great like y'all said, but one bass caught my eye and when I sat down and played it I just knew I had to...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions guys! So do the Squier Classic Vibes all use passive pick-ups?

First I'd like to apologize if you guys find topics like this annoying and clutter. Been reading this site for the past couple days and never saw anything regarding beginner gear so I'm dropping in. So I've been playing guitar for quite a few years and it's been fun, but lately I've been...
