Man, this is one brand I've never been able to try firsthand other than my friend's rockin' old Dano bass (I think it was a '91? He doesn't use it much anymore 'cause alllll the electronics shit out on him).
If I do get one, though, it would probably be this one. I might do that with any moneyz from my Graduation Christmas Birthday (funny how people like to combine holidays and winter birthdays).

Well, all of those WERE meant to be cheap alternatives to expensive professional instruments. However, they all had their own charms, which is the reason they're so popular.
Squier guitars are shit versions of guitars that are already way too popular.

That '59 Dano is a classic. Who wouldn't want one of those?

I also have a mandolin
I have been promised a really really nice guitar in a few months, so I'm researching what I should get. Not sure if I want to try an electric or if I should just stick with a great acoustic.
I'll get a better mandolin eventually. I'm still learning some really basic stuff.
My goal is to learn every instrument ever invented. Next up is ukelele.

Fender's humbucking pickups suck ass.*
If you buy a Fender, it's worth spending extra for an American Deluxe model, and then worth spending even more extra to put a Seymour Duncan in if you've got a humbucker equipped model.
*All their new ones do, anyway. Old dual-humbucker Telecasters sound pretty sweet.

I dunno, the pickups on the '72 Reissue are pretty great.
