Alot of the Really Cheap ones...

Are made of plywood. Of course they call it laminated something are other but its plywood. Don't get me wrong now, I played those squiers and although I would rather have a fender those squiers are decent players. If I was to get all townsend on one I would play a song are two on one of them squiers then bash the hell out of it and call it a show. Oh I'm not saying Squiers are made from plywood they are agaithis are basswood, but the 99 dollar guitars are usually plywood.

Now that I think about it the style of the Hamer would be what I'm used too. You know Fenders have the pickup selector down by the knobs. I would have to get used to reaching up to switch the pickups. I guess I'll just let my girlfriend decide.
