Is this a good beginner's guitar?

Yes, particularly if you're into heavier styles of music like Rock, Hard Rock, Punk, and Metal. With only a single, high-output pickup, this model will be sonically limited. If you're looking for something with the versatility of lighter genres of music (ie, Pop, Country, Jazz, Americana, Blues, etc.) you should look elsewhere.

Short answer is yes.

The build quality on beginner guitars can be hit or miss. As a beginner, it's hard to tell unless you know what you're looking for.

Also, normally stratocasters have 3 single coil pickups, one volume knob, two tone knobs. This has one humbucker pickup with one volume, one tone. Also, usually guitars have at least two pickups. In that sense, it's a little limited.

In terms of versatility, I'd say don't get it. But in terms of learning and rocking out, definitely.

This is so much guitar for $200. Nice punchy pickup and these affinity squirre play really well. Great beginner guitar or intermediate. Also, the players skill matters more than the guitars features. This is a deal.

Love the color on this. Half tempted to buy it cause I just bought a pickup I have no idea what to do with and it'd turn this into a beast, but I think my wife migh kill me if I buy another guitar 🤣

I have the Tom DeLonge one. I love that thing. That Invader pickup is great. It's such a simplistic guitar, but it sounds great.

Fender Squier Strats are one of the most, if not THE most, popular starter guitars. Some people might say this one is a little limited, because it only has the one pickup, instead of the 3 that usually come on these. However, I have a similar model that only has the one (it's called a humbucker) and I have several other guitars that have 3 pickups, and I only ever use the bridge pickup on any of them (which is the location of this pickup). In fact, that's the most popular pickup to use. So, this will be fine for any beginner.

Can anyone explain how you can make sure you're getting the best price at Adorama? So many times an item is listed at full price and the deal does not show in a web search. Example here:
