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!

In that price range, you should also consider Yamahas and Schecters. But Squiers and Sterlings are awesome guitars.

The best thing to do is not to worry too much about the brand and just try out a few within your budget that catch your eye at a store. There's a lot of variation between even guitars of the same model, especially at lower budgets.

I've had a Schecter C1 Hellraiser for over 10 years. That guitar is amazing for the price.
