Wait, this is one of those things where I'm like, wait, it's Monoprice- their whole thing is that they are anti-brand, test it against everything 'we have a $7 dollar headphone that audiophiles love and a $10 knife that America's Test Kitchen keeps raving about" sort of mentality. There's even a Planet Money podcast on them, where they take on some sort of fancy computer monitor and ultimately lose in the end. Thrifty millenials like me eat shit like this up, it's like the consumer dream of the internet age.

Ok, I used to have a Squier when I was younger, haven't owned a guitar in a 7 years or so. I kind of have cgod's mentality of "I just need something that works". A $70 dollar guitar in this context feels perfect, but I'm suddenly aware of how weird it is for me to defend a brand on the basis of how much I like it's company philosophy. Will update if I decide to pick up a guitar.
