Just picked up a new Fender Stratocaster HSS in Candy Burst Red when I was down in NYC. Bought it from the Guitar Center on West 44th Street. What a great bunch of guys there. Very helpful.

I'm really a beginner. Been playing acoustics off and on for about ten years but never enjoyed it enough to get very good. On a whim I picked up a used Squier Bullet Strat and a Roland Cube 15XL amp at a pawn shop when I was bored one day. Took it home and fell in love with the instrument and its possibilities.

Not completely happy with the sound, I started looking around for a standard Strat and found a good deal at the store in NYC. Also picked up an iRig 2 and am having fun fooling around with Amplitube on the iPad and plugging into the Amp when the wife isn't around.

Can't wait to get better at this thing. There's just so much you can do with a guitar like this.

If you have any suggestions for learning, let me know. I've been following Andy Guitar and Justin Guitar. Looking for a good iPad app. Thanks!

Hello! I am new here too and also from Ottawa Canada. I have an older 98' Squier Affinity I got used and I love it. I have also owned a Fender American Standard tele but my next real Fender will be a strat. I do love my Squier though!
