For a beginner electric guitar, we’re happy to recommend the Squier Classic Vibe ‘50s Stratocaster. At the very entry-level sits Squier’s Affinity range, which are decent guitars, but just above that sits the Classic Vibe range which is streets ahead in terms of value. The combination of superb build quality, excellent tones and stunning looks make for an enticing package, and one which you won’t grow out of any time soon.
