I've heard that the Yamaha Pacific is a great beginners guitar which is along the same lines of the Squire. You could put new upgraded pickups in the Squire and pretty much have a pure Fender. That way you will save money. Either way the Yamaha is a sideways step in quality IMO. If you want new altogether I'd go Fender if you want to stay with that type of guitar.

Just recently found these guys and they are great.

Congrats to the both of you. I hope you share many more happy years together.

EB slinky 10's will feel more bendy than regular 10's. If you play 11s and 12's on acoustic you will have a tuff time adjusting to electric 8's or 9's because of over fretting the notes out of tune. Plus you'll be looking at a complete setup for the guage change. It could be a good thing though if you're not too heavy handed.

The bass strings will sound dull and the high strings will be much quieter and altogether less vibrant.They will also leave black marks on your fingers from the crud and rust and feel less smooth. If you play regularly most uncoated strings will only be good for a couple weeks to a month according on the chemicals released from your hands.

Brad Paisley, The Steeldrivers, Joe Bonamassa, Needtobreathe, Nathan James, Seasick Steve and most of the big country artists from the classics are a few I favor.

I'll have to say that I'm a decent player. Still learning theory and lead but can do as well as my teacher which happens to be myself. I have fun with it either way.

There are too many quality guitars priced under $500 for me to feel comfortable spending over that while my kids are still my dependents. My trusty Takamine eg334 was priced over that but I caught it on clearance. Hopefully upon house clearing of the kids that custom Martin will become reality for me.

This was the very first forum I ever registered to and didn't have any idea not to use my name. Its actually the first initial and last name. On other forums I frequent I go by 6twang.

Well I'll give you my thoughts on the eq pedal since I don't actually use one. They are used to adjust the individual frequencies meaning that you can adjust the bass, miss or highs to a level that sounds better in the mix of what you are playing. You could be getting too much high frequency vibrations from your guitar that could lowered with the pedal and kill the feedback. Maybe a youtube search will give you a better idea. I hear alot of players use these pedals to tighten or loosen their tone.

You know you're a musician when all you want to do is play your guitar even though you are laid up in bed with a bad leg. Happening to me now. Deadstring I used to have a few of those as a kid and lost them over the years. I use the zippy ones now.
