i recommend against the squier strats. they suck enough to hold you back and keep you from getting better.
How could that even be possible? My Squire Strat plays wonderful for only costing 175$(was the floor model).
I didn't know that he's already been playing a while, just skimmed through the thread.
If he's looking for something decent and not just beginner, I also recommend ESP.. coupled with a Boss MetalZone, even the little 15W Crate can rock.
