Not a Fender Strat, in the video I misspoke; a Sire S3 HSS.
Today's post celebrates the arrival of my new Alvarez AF30CE electro-acoustic guitar, with steel strings (pictured). You don't have to plug it in, but when the amplified sound hits you, you notice. The strings are heavier than on the S3 and it's much less supple to play. But then it is, fundamentally, an acoustic guitar, designed first to produce that direct, resonant sound without any electronic assistance.
None of the three guitars I bought over the last nine months cost more than £300 - most were quite a bit less. It's both surprising and pleasing that you can get high-quality beginner/intermediate guitars at this kind of price point.
