In 2001 I my parents bought me a MIA Standard Strat. I had only been playing guitar about 2 years but I was already sitting in with classic rock cover bands and playing extensively at church. I liked a lot more gain, hard rock and soloing as fast as I could. I didn't bond with the Strat and only played my LP STudio. I sold the Strat.
in 2008 I obtained through a trade a 1991 MIM Strat with lace sensors. I was gigging with my own band, sitting in at local jams and still playing extensively at church. I got along better with that Start but i still liked a fair amount of gain, hard rock and soloing as fast as i could yet i was learning to slow down. I sold the Strat.
2 weeks ago I bought a Squire standard at a pawn shop for $50. After cleaning it up I can't put it down. I've yet to gig with it but as far as bedroom enjoyment, I couldn't be happier. I don't even touch high gain, the treble pickup and I've learned to slow WAY down now-a-days. I love this guitar.
Theres no way this Squire is better specs wise over the MIA and MIMs that I have previously owned. Was I just not "mature" enough for a Strat back then?
