GUITAR HELP! gibson epoch or starcaster by fender

Question

i have a gibson epoch and it is $hit. the epoch has no tone, it cant palm mute at all

so my question is: is the starcaster by fender also horrible? (if not i may get one) , i have a digitech distortion pedal, but please compare the 2 guitars and give your feed back

i have played guitar for about 2 years now i can play:

smells like teen spitit-nirvana

don't look back in anger-oasis

welcome home-coheed and cambria

knocking on heavens door-gnr version

alive-pearl jam

talk dirty to me-poison

...and many more like those

i am only naming these songs to show you my skill level so the question will be easier to answer

thanks

Answer 1

To be honest, the Fender starcaster won't be much of an improvement. Since you play a lot of rock and alternative, I would recommend getting a guitar with humbucker pickups, so it can better handle distortion without feedback. Since the starcaster goes for about 200$, I would recommend getting a guitar that is not in a pack, just a guitar. Buy the amp separately. Make sure you go to a store and try them out though. Also, if you can invest money into a new amp, your tone will improve. I recommend getting a Roland Microcube amp. Great tone and versatility.

Answer 2

starcaster (:
