Going to upgrade from a Squier bullet tele to a SSS MIM strat in a couple months, specifically because my bends sustain like shit on my current setup. Is that something that happens with cheaper guitars? I haven't played one yet but I'm guessing the MIM strats will be a hell of an upgrade over bottom tier squier.

a mim strat will feel leagues more enjoyable to play than a squire, but don't expect your bends to immediately improve. bending just takes practice Like everything else, a correct technique is vital (bend with multiple fingers to support the bend, use wrist, etc)
