Which 2nd hand guitar do I buy?

[still venture]

Only one of these lists the actual model (the Affinity, which is alright). It's unclear for the rest

The tier list goes something like Squier Debut -> Sonic -> Affinity -> Classic Vibe

[latent hare]

yeah i know mb i didnt expect somebody to reply so fast i thought the sellers would reply by the time someone saw this

ill js delete this for now

wait i cant delete it

[sturdy glacier]

aa

i dont rlly recommend buying an amp though

im not saying u shouldntt, just that itll not be convinient for bedroom practice since its loud and pretty tiring just to set it up

[latent hare]

ill just get those ones that use headphones and attach right to it

[maiden ridge]

for an amp get a fender mustang lt 25 or nux mighty 20

[hearty valley]

If you buy a 2nde hand squire make sure to buy a Japanese one if you can. They are just so qualitative compared to american ones.

[maiden ridge]

Squire is not made in America

There was a brief time in the 80s when they were but they haven’t been for a long time

Dude don’t just look at squiers

Ibanez are great for their color options

And Yamaha are great for playability

So if yahama go for the pacifa 112v

[hearty valley]

Ye i was talking about old stuff

I thought you would be a vintage lover

Anyway squires made in Japan still are the greatest for this brand

[hearty valley]

Ibanez are great for other reasons than just colors lol

[steady storm]

Is there a reason you’re only looking at Squiers?

[wheat willow]

Yes but if terms of getting a guitar that isn’t just plain ass colour with a white pick guard, Ibanez are th best

[hearty valley]

Sure

But it's better to have something playable

You can't play with a plank, may it be colorful

[steady storm]

Ibanez GIO’s aren’t the best. And this comes from someone who owns three Ibanez guitars. I’m a fanboy. But i think there are better options. Namely, the Yamaha Pacifica.

[hearty valley]

I'm building a jem on my own, we'll see what it'll do

[hearty valley]

Why so ?

[wheat willow]

I’ve got an rga, best £400 I’ve ever spent

But Pacifica are better

Just look too generic

[steady storm]

In the entry-level category, while the Ibanez GIO’s look “cooler” they just don’t compare to the build quality of the Yamaha Pacifica’s in the same price range.

I’m also recommending the Yamaha Pacifica because it looks the same as a Squier Strat which seems to be the shape OP is looking for.

[latent hare]

It’s whats most available 2nd hand

[wheat willow]

Fair

[latent hare]

It’s like 99% squiers

[wheat willow]

I’m biased bc my main criteria for guitars is it has to be a unique color spectrum

Like mine is relic ed gray with white outline and red maple back

[latent hare]

Dam

[steady storm]

Are there no used Yamaha Pacificas in your area? Even the new ones aren’t that expensive

[hearty valley]

You sound quite like a broken vinyl

The best guitar is the one he wants

[ashen flume]

Squires are not made in America… they were for a few years (1989-1992) I believe, but not since then.

[steady storm]

That’s simply not true. They can get what they want, but that doesn’t make it an objectively better instrument.

[hearty valley]

I've been told ye

[hearty valley]

Yes, this is true, but you have to begin somewhere

I mean, if you're a newbie you may listen to what experienced people say or you can try by yourself and make your own opinion

I do agree that some guitar are just wood for fire, but some just don't match your playstyle maybe ?

Like the yamaha pacifica might fit you but it wouldn't for me or for some others. Even though I believe you if you say it's a great cheap guitar

[faint wasp]

Avoid squier bullet or sonic like hell

[latent hare]

well idk much about yamaha pacifica

would u recommend that over a squire?

[faint wasp]

squier, depends of the model

[latent hare]

if i were to buy a squire it would be an affinity

[faint wasp]

squier

affinity is the less worst

avoid bullet and sonic

[still venture]

When buying used things many people don't tell you if the guitar is 2 years old or from the 80s

[steady storm]

Generally speaking I would recommend it over the Squiers besides the Classic Vibe

[latent hare]

Mb auto correct

[ashen flume]

What’s your budget
