just a casual/sit at home player. owned a les/paul gibson when i was a teenager about 40+ years ago. am retired now and just wanted something to practice with. went to a music store with the idea of picking up a cheap used guitar and amp and ended up buying a new sqire stratocaster standard guitar and a frontman 15G fender amp. really pleased with purchase and am now teaching myself and my daughter how to play again.
