Looks like the Fender lead 2 was discontinued (sad word for guitarists) in 1982. The Mustang looks like the closest thing available nowadays. It could also be a great guitar for young beginners, seeing as it has a short scale length, only 24 inch scale length as opposed to the Strats 25.5 inch. I borrowed a beat up old mustang when I was about 14 years old, and it was quite a blast to play. Correction!

I was looking around and found some fabulous articles. A first electric guitar that I would recommend would be a Fender Lead II if you could get your hands on one. It has a small neck, to make it easy for fingering for a beginner, and the sound is great! Just make sure that you have the action or intonation set when you get one. The intonation tends to last a while on this thing and I've only had it done once since I bought it! The body is quite light as well. I want to say that you site is great!

So be careful there if you are told 'this is rare' - find out if there is a demand for that particular guitar. a) Demand for the guitar - something is not as valuable if it is rare and no one wants it!

I'm amazed at how good the entry level guitars have become. I have both a Squier Affinity Strat (my first guitar) and a Fender American Strat. They have different personalities but both are fun guitars to play. This is some right on stuff here! I’m amazed at how good the entry level guitars have become.
