Yeah, I agree. I started out on a Squier Strat. They play well and are at a good price. The perfect beginners guitar in my opinion. :)

Go to the shop to play them. Find out what you like. Then if you can find it cheaper on the net get it off the net. Otherwise just get it from the shop if its cheap there. If your worried about them getting damaged while being delivered think of this... It had to be delivered from the factory to the shop and has to get from the shop to your house. Dont worry about that side of it.

Yamaha Pacificas play much better than Squier Strats.

In my opinion, they play nicer than Fender USA Strats too...

The Pacifica is an awesome guitar, saying that however, i've enver played anything else, so I can't compare.

Just don't let teh salesguy talk you into getting an amp from someone you've never ever heard of, to this day.

Behringer?

Who?

Behringer aren't unknowns.
They're quite well known, in fact.

Well, I haven't ever seen a Behringer amp, or advert for one ever since I bought it, probably.

I couldn't tell you if it was a bad amp though, as I haven't played with anything else.

So, in short, I've only ever played with a Pacifica on a Behringer amp.

So I can't really advise.

i don't think i'd ever buy a guitar without playing it first ever again.
i bought a BC Rich Mockingbird from a mail order place (one of the limited editions with the fixed bridge and the 3-a-side headstock) and although it looked the business it was a nightmare to play. neck heavy, quite a poor fingerboard, the set-up was a joke.

it took me about a week of tweaking to get it set up nicely, but i got rid of it pretty quickly and used the cash to buy another les paul :)

I`d prefer a marshall amp because a lot of bands use them and they`re known!
