I’ve been saving up Amazon Gift Cards I’ve acquired until I have enough to buy an inexpensive guitar (a Squier Bullet stratocaster by Fender) and a copy of Rocksmith 2014 to teach myself how to play.
I don’t recommend a fender squire. Remember you pay for the name when you get a fender. If it was cash I would say you’re better off getting a used guitar that’s better (as long as they were well cared for an old guitar that was a better model will always be better than a new cheap model). But since you are going the Amazon route, I recommend getting a cheap Sawtooth guitar. They are the same price but a bit higher quality as you are not paying for the name.
