I'm not into guitars purchasing, so I can't say if this is a goo deal or not, but definitely, if you like to play it, you should have your own!
Good luck with it! |

Well, gamer, personally I would never buy a guitar without trying it out myself in a store for example. First of all, each guitar has it's own feel and if you're just learning, you're especially going to want on which is easy to handle. The neck shouldn't be too thick for this purpose (both across the fretboard and around the back) so that you don't have to strain your hands and you can slide up and down the neck quickly. Swift dexterity and flexibility with an instument such as a guitar and as little pain as possible when learning to play is the key to helping stay unfrustrated while you are learning.
Also, you would want to try plugging the instrument into different amplifiers to see what kind of sound it has and ask an expert how it sounds to him/her (make sure its not just some store guy making sure he makes a sale, btw...cuz they might say anything.) And finally, I've never heard of Aztec guitars before in my life, and the fact that this guitar isn't even a genuine fender strat put out by fender, but some rather generic (and strangely cheap...I might add...) one based on the body of a strat concerns me. When I was 15, as a gift, my grandmother purchased for me my first guitar which was a fender strat, but it was a student model and it was not made in the U.S. where professional model strats are made. The one that I had almost never stayed in tune and I was constantly trying to tune it all the time. The tremolo system with the whammy bar is the kind which you wouldn't even want to use becuase it would just send the guitar out of tune with the slightest bend. So it is ok to have on there, but I wouldn't reccomend ever using it. Look...I want to help you out. Look up Ibanez guitars or ESP guitars on the web. Also check out Gibson, Washburn, Dean, Jackson, and Epiphone. These are some of the best ones out there, namely the first two. DO some research on the different models, then write them down and look for them at different music stores and try them out. Also, have somebody demonstrate them to you because it also helps to hear somebody else play it if you a just learning and ask their opinion as to how it feels to them. There are also certain questions to ask in the shop like: Is the guitar in tune? Is the intonation done? Is it set? Has the truss rod been adjusted? So you know why it might sound a certain way when you try it. Plus you'd probably want to get those things done before you take a new guitar home anyway. It may end up costing more than you originally expected but it you get the right guitar now rather than later, it will last you a loooong time and you will never get tired of that particular guitar and you will love it and be proud of owning it. Well, I hope I was of some help to you. I may be going over board since your just starting out and everything, but having the right guitar can be a very exciting thing Good luck! IM me and let me know how it's been going! _RED_ stuff

I also think that for buying an instrument it is better to try it and see it before the purchase.

If your going for the strat-look and a fender isn't in your financial picture, you might want to check out squire. It's basically a fender the factory is owned by fender it's only way cheaper cause of use of cheaper wood, materials, coils etc. etc. It's a bit lower in quality but it's a fairly good guitar to start with.
Good luck on your search!
