Before anyone chimes in on a $100 Monoprice strat copy being as good, they're not unless you put $250 into it. But you'll always have a guitar that is worth $50 on the used market.

You can always sell this 2 years from now for what you paid for it or more.

This is a deal for a solid guitar. The quality and resale value make it great buy.

I've bought those Mono strats. Anyone who says they're on par with a MIM is full of shit. They're on par with a Squier Bullet at best. We get it, you're broke. Nothing wrong with that. But to try to preach this nonsense is absurd.

Excellent price. Getting back to the new old price

BTW - the Tele has the nice bridge - I think that's not standard for the normal Player series (maybe that's what makes it "Limited Edition?)
The bridge is standard for the Player series. The Lake Placid Blue color makes it "Limited Edition."

What's the difference between the Stratocaster and Telecaster? Which one is better for a beginner? My daughter has been playing an acoustic for a little while but she really wants an electric guitar. $529 is a little higher than what we had budgeted ($400 w/ amp for new or used was what we have saved), but we know nothing about electric guitars so hoping some of you can offer some advice. Sounds like some very experienced guitar players in here…

There are a lot of alternatives that can fit the budget better. Unless you daughter specifically wants this guitar, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You should probably make a visit to a guitar store and see what she's interested in and then go from there.

Unfortunately this is the cheapest fender stratocaster/telecaster you can get right now.

My daughter don't actually know the differences between all of the electric guitars…She just knows that she wants one lol. I'm trying to do some research to help her choose something decent, as I want her to have a good experience; hoping it would motivate her to play it more. I think taking her to a guitar center is a great idea! I just hope we don't get oversold by the sales guy that just wants to make a sale. Thanks for your response.

The good news is you can get a really good guitar at any budget. I bought a Harley Benton Telecaster for $115 (+$80 shipping...) and it's a really good guitar. In fact, unlike this Fender, which obviously somehow missed the setup step on the assembly line, the HB was set up pretty well. I think most stores won't try to oversell a dad and his daughter, but do your research before you go and they won't have that option. Going in person is ideal because a guitar is such a personal thing. Stay on the low end because if your daughter sticks with it, she's likely going to want something different down the road. Also, the amp is probably a more important choice.

I was thinking a very low end one might give her a bad impression and discourage her from playing but you're right, she may end up wanting to upgrade in the future regardless. I was originally looking at it more as a one and done purchase, but your advice makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for that perspective!
