How a light touch improved my guitar playing
My playing improved significantly when I learned not to bang strings hard.
Buying used is always a risk. Buying any guitar over 5 years old is also a risk. But if you're willing to take the plunge, certain mid-2000s Fender Strats are dirt cheap right now.
You didn't have the option of getting guitars like this for so cheap a few years back, but now you can.
