I'm fairly experianced when it comes to playing (my brother has a few guitars that I play on).

So I've decided to buy my own (most of my friends play too, bass, guitar, drums, and keyboard, etc. But don't get me wrong, I've got no delusions of playing in a band). I just enjoy playing.

But I'm not sure what to get, as I know different kinds of guitars tend to be better for different kinds of music. I enjoy all kinds of music (from Hank Williams to Bob Dylan, the Beatles to InFlames), and I like to play a little bit of everything. If I had to pick something, I'd like a sound similar to Jimi Hendrix.

Which is why I'm leaning toward a Fender Stratocaster (mainly what Hendrix used), or the off-brand Squier Stratocaster (aside from price, what's the difference?). But, I was told by an experienced friend that Fenders suck for palm muting (he mostly plays just heavy metal though), but I don't know. So, I'm interested in absorbing any information from yall. I'm sure there's gotta be some guitar players here.


thanks
