I don't really care if it's mainstream or not. You're talking to a guy who likes pretty much everything on the radio :lol: Owl City is not quite what I'm after though. I wrote the OP late last night and now realised that I should probably have mentioned that I'm looking for electronic stuff with...
...this. It has kind of a 'live' feel to it and an awesome groove with fun, upbeat melodies. I don't know how much you guys here at ss.org know this kind of stuff, but I guess it's worth a shot. Edit: Preferably it should have clear funk/soul elements.
I don't like Skrillex or dubstep in particular, but Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites (the song) has like the best theme ever. Super simple, but what a hook.
Man, nitrocellulose is the bomb, I wish they still used it on guitars. It's very uncommon these days. Cellulose ages incredibly well compared to poly. You get a beautiful crackle instead of just chipped paint.
They're not gonna sound as fat as the Yamaha, but Squier's VM and CV line is extremely good bang for your buck. Personally I would go Squier, because they're more versatile.

I'm not a cheap person when it comes to small things, I can throw tiny amounts of money away multiple times without hesitation. But as soon as it comes to anything above about $150 I get cheap as hell, so I almost never buy gear. The most expensive piece of gear I've bought is my upright bass...
I don't know how it's like where you live, but if I had enough spare cash to do it I'd probably buy and renovate it into living space to sell/rent. Here you could probably make bank making them into student housing, because there are almost no places to live right now if you can't afford a $200k...
If you're going to solely focus on a genre/project then there's no need to be well rounded. But if you want to have a bigger chance of making music a living you should definitely focus on learning at least the basics of the common genres. You'll be infinitely more attractive to anyone looking...
When I first saw the title, I thought we were going to see an actual '59 strat, my mind was blown away for a second :lol: Awesome piece nonetheless, you can never go wrong with a strat.
