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!

Any idea what kind of style you're interested in? Do you need to budget for any other gear? What kind of guitar were you playing before and how did you find it (what did you like about it, what didn't you, any annoyances or things you wished you could do with it?)

The age old advice of going in person and picking something that feels good to you really is the best thing to do.
