    The setup is the first key. If your guitar is buzzing, it's annoying and not inspiring. If the action is too high and you're 'fighthing' your guitar... it's annoying and you will give up.

    The pickup changes will help your Squier sound FAR better and a great sounding guitar (vs. a bad sounding guitar) is inspiring - you'll play more - you'll learn more - you'll ROCK more!!!!

    At the end of the day, does it work for you. That is what matters most. I am not a fan of Ibanez guitars but they've been a favorite of Steve Vai for 20+ years. Doesn't mean they are bad or good... just means Steve Vai likes them and I don't.

    Indeed, everyone has a different take on stuff; my mate got hold of a PRS around the same time as I got my Epiphone LP. Admittedly, tis quite nice as far as guitars go, but I can't stand spikey guitars, hence I seriously dislike stuff like SGs etc.

    On the other hand, I got the white LP Custom, and I've had a couple of friends say it's too "Justin Hawkins/Darkness-ey" for their liking, and I think "well, I don't really care" lol. I wanted an LP, I have an LP, I'm happy as Lardence. On a similar note, my bro (who has a Yamaha Strat. that he's had for years, and wants a Tele.) was giving my LP a go after I first got it (I was at work at the time), and he told me that he didn't like it, and I just replied "well that's good, 'cause it wasn't bought for you!".

    EDIT - I am in the same bought as Jeff though re. Ibanez, I don't like them either but that's ok because I'm not intending to get hold of one lol. Personal preference is a big part of music
