It's a Fender Stratocaster.
What kind of amp are you playing through? Probably one of the biggest sources of dissatisfaction/disappointment amongst new guitarists is when they buy a "package" which includes a cheesy little beginner amp and discover that it doesn't make the "rock and roll" sounds they want. Most amps that come with beginner packages are manufactured as cheaply as possible - the cheapest components and the fewest possible extras/options....no distortion, no effects, etc. They'll amplify your guitar, but that's about it. There are a ton of threads here about amps, but to make a long story short - to get good sound on a budget, go with something like a Roland Micro Cube, Roland Cube 15X / 20X, or a Vox AD15VT / AD30VT. All of those amps get consistently good reviews and at prices from $99 - $240, they won't break the bank.
