Hey! I am looking into buying a new electric guitar because I'm wanting to get back into playing. I would say I was an intermediate player back when I was in high school, but haven't really played much in a few years. My budget is around AU$700-1100, so mid-range considering I'm still a bit of a newbie. I've been looking at some Sterlings and Squiers, but I'm not sure! Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated!

Fender Player Series HSS will be the most versatile guitar. But honestly you'll want to budget a good practice amp modeler as much as you would a guitar. The Spark has been working out for a lot of people I know.

I have a Yamaha THR amp that I would also recommend for home practice.

I bought a Spark on a whim from a YouTube video on it, and it’s legitimately really great for just playing in my living room. The sound is way bigger than I thought it could be, and the modeling effects are nice.

I was totally prepared to crap on it, but I’m actually a big fan of it.
