i think you should wait 'til you accumulate more cash, cause 100 bucks
ain't gonna go very far. i think someone pointed out that you should get
a mexican fender (and you should) but that's minimum 350$ canadian for
the standard strat if you bargain with the store. you basically get what
you pay for. i've noticed that most beginners get turned off the
instrument because of how bad their gear sounds! and a tuner is a must!
good luck!
