Hey guys! I don't know if this is the right place for this but. I have a 36" acoustic guitar. I have no problems with cording or anything. My problem is, I have really short arms and fingers (middle finger is about 3 inches and arms are a little over 2 feet from armpit to tip of finger. Would I be okay with getting a full sized, or should I go junior? I am a super noob when it comes to electric, so sorry if I sound clueless, because I am... :oops: :oops:

Probably the best thing to do would be to try both and see which one feels/plays best for you.

+1

That said, the "training" model will never sound like a true Strat due to the short scale neck. Why not take a look at a Mustang or Duosonic instead?

Better to find a good deal on a Mexican Strat for just a little more.

You can buy a new Bullet on sale for $79.99 sometimes but then end up paying $75 to $100 more to get it set up properly. If you can do the setup yourself you can end up with a playable guitar for less than $100. If not, you can spend more for the setup than the guitar. If you are going with the starter pack to get the amp, they are plentiful at most pawnshops for less than $20.
