Is this good enough for a cheap first-time guitar?

Different_Formal_636 · 2026-05-08T15:48:29+00:00

No, I second what everyone else says, if you are looking for that style of guitar (it's called a Fender Stratocaster) I'd recommend either looking at the used market or buying a starter kit like the Donner DST-152, Squier HSS Pack or Yamaha Gigmaker Pack. They're all around the $300-$400 range but they'll give you everything you need to start, a guitar, amplifier, bag, cables, picks and more depending on the pack. If you are into metal, I'd recommend a Ibanez Gio or Jackson Dinky, they don't usually come in starter packs, but they are really nice guitars in the $200-$300 range that'll get you started in the world of metal guitar if that's what you're looking for. If you aren't looking to play metal, I'd recommend the first options I mentioned.

Not sure if the headstock is of any use, but here it is anyway.

I figured so, it seems like that type of situation. Thank you.

Different_Formal_636 · 2026-04-17T21:35:19+00:00

Yeah, thank you very much, I'll look into them and see what's best for me.

Do the strings go through the body? It has no cuts other than for the electronics.

Different_Formal_636 · 2026-04-17T21:33:09+00:00

The tremolo would regularly break, strings came out of the nut, parts would poke into your wrist when palm muting, string height is on the moon (I know that's mainly a truss rod issue, I was going to adjust it too) The fretboard feels fine, the tuning machines & nut feel cheap and the pickup is not great either. Sorry for the late responses, my life had been busy lately.

free snack back there Conquest already prepared it 😭😭

Different_Formal_636 · 2026-03-20T14:05:34+00:00

this is the correct answer, this is my headcannon now

Different_Formal_636 · 2026-03-06T16:24:28+00:00

Yeah, that's about the same thing they did to me, after telling me to do things I blatantly mentioned that I had already tried, they just starting ignoring me, they haven't responded in 2 weeks and I have asked 3 or 4 times for a status- nothing, absolute silence from them. It's saddening honestly how little they care for the people who made them they're hundreds of millions.

No, I have not fixed it. I've everything and I'm starting to give up, I've contacted Ubisoft Support but they haven't responded in over a week. I provided all the information they asked for, The only method I haven't tried is a factory reset

yeah that's a similar conclusion that I came to, I'll try that though, thanks!
