I'm not being snobbish about names, I'm just saying for the price of all the GH's I bought I could have got myself that set from argos that is cheap compared to other makes and bundles you can get.
There is 3 different types/branches of Fender, theres the US., which are the most expensive, Mexican, which is now the middle price range and now Jap Fenders which are the cheapest you can tell the differnce by the code on the head of the guitar, and as you say there is also Squire which Fender own but put Squire on the head.
I totaly agree with you that the immitation/cheaper makes are good my mate has an Aria (not sure if spelt that right) strat nothing wrong with it at all, anothers got replica Les Pual (not an Epiphone but another imitation make) and they good guitar but with guitars its the same as anything, the more money you pay the more you start paying for the name rather than what you get.
