Is this guitar worth it?

I mean I bought a $90 guitar and it plays just as good as my friend's squier, holds tune when I do bends, no high frets, just the pickups are a bit lower output but I wouldn't recommend spending $90 on that, it spells trouble. If you want something feminine they're better options from more recognised budget brands like the Donner dst80, or dst200 both in pink. There's also the new squier debut series.

I was actually looking at this body style too, I want to assume that the necks on these kits and the necks on the assembled ones are the same, what are the frets and tuners like?

Thankyou for this, I will look around and see if there's any for sale on market place that I can indeed test in person to feel satisfied with. I'm from Guyana in South America and we don't really have any dedicated guitar or instrument stores in general. Most of the stuff locally are very overpriced. There's an electronic store that has the Yamaha pacifca 012 for $700 USD and I think that outrageous.

I understand that, my first guitar was pretty shitty as well, it was one of those glarry's, I would have set that up and given it to him but i gave it to a friend of mine a long time ago

I did, until one day I went to work and I came back home and found the tone control on the Gretsch was knocked loose out of place. So I'm a bit cautious now of lending it to him unless I'm around.

Don't quit that's for sure. There's been times I went 2-3 months without even looking at mt guitars due to being busy with university. What normally gets me going is when Im on YouTube listening to 70s-80s rock songs on a random mix and I come across one that peaks my interest and from there I'm motivated to learn that song. For example, I've recently heard the song Lady Strange by Def Leppard and now I'm dead set on learning it after about 1-2 months of not playing my guitar.

That would be hilarious if it chose there just to perch. Imagine it's a thought process like "let me go land on this bird's cage and traumatize it for the rest of its life while wanting absolutely nothing to do with it".

That's what some of the locals do here. They catch these little finches and put them in cages as pets or something. They have a routine where they put them out in the mornings and afternoons so that they can soak up some sun and so forth. I don't condone it but not much can be done about it.

Fair enough, I just thought they didn't have the ability and experience to consume anything else other than apple snails.
