Tabs are displayed as follofws
-----2--------------
-----3--------------
-----2--------------
-----0--------------
--------------------
--------------------
Now the lines themselves represent the strings. The top line representing the first string and the bottom one representing the sixth string.
BUT with guitars the first string is the lowest one on the instrument. So the sixth string is the thickest and the first is the thinnest.
The numbers represent the frets. Basically the number 0 represents the open string. So you hit the string without holding anything. The numbers 2 and 3 represent the second and third fret. The placement on the lines represents what string you have to press on that fret.
The example from above shows a D cord. The next one will be a G cord.
-----3--------------
-----0--------------
-----0--------------

↑that's a G cord.
-----0--------------
-----2--------------
-----2--------------
-----2--------------
-----0--------------
--------------------
↑This one is an A cord.
-----0--------------
-----0--------------
-----1--------------
-----2--------------
-----2--------------
-----0--------------
↑And this is an E cord.
The numbers played directly above or below each other are all played at the same time. now if you get this situation.
-------------2------
-----------------3--
---------2----------
-----0--------------
--------------------
--------------------
↑Here you have to hit the open D string alone first. You then hit the G string holding the second fret followed by the E string second fret and finally the B string third fret.
You hit each string one at a time in this case, and not all of them. So even if the finger positioning is the same as a D cord, you hit each string one at a time and it doesn't sound like the cord.
That about sums it up in a nutshell.

yeah the number represents the fret on a specific string.
Just remember that the strings are rotated by 180° in a tab.
The top most line is the bottom string on your guitar.

It's a pretty nice guitar from what I see I like those pickups they give a pretty good distortion if I'm not wrong but it still it's not a quality guitar like Gibson, iBanez and Fender those are my favorites, Gibson has that old and deep sound and distortion and it's more for rock n roll music, iBanez is more for extreme music something like Heavy metal and similar music and Fender is the guitar for jazz, rock etc. but not for Heavy metal because it doesn't have that distortion like iBanez I mean that's what I think because I played on all those guitar

Yeah when you see a guitar it says to you:"I know you want me, so go and buy me jolly clown" something like that but if you don't have the will to learn to play the guitar than it's lacking in identifiable function to have it I mean chicks like guys who know how to play a guitar so learn to play take photo upload it that the chicks can see you and love 'em all

This thing is pretty much Fenders take on trying to make a distortion compatible guitar. But due to only limited success (it didn't really sell well) Squier started producing them instead. So its a created by Fender, but Squier original make.
As for your comparisons.
Fender is your typical clean/blues/crunch guitar.
Ibanez is your hard core distortion guitar
And Gibson is its own thing all together. Their unique make creates a sound that doesn't really fit anywhere, but because of that it is pretty much praised everywhere. Though from my experience Gibsons work best with limited distortion sounds. So somewhere in between the soft Fender sounds and hard core Ibanez sounds.
of course it also depends a lot on the amp and effects used. If you stay clear of any digital effects, then even lower budget guitars will produce a sound that makes your jaw drop.

You're a beginner your fingers need some time to get used to the guitar but after some time you'll be good.
I have some different strings I don't know how to express myslef but anyway they're harder and thicker they are 10 I don't know how to say that in English correctly so maybe you guitar player's understand me MAYBE
My dad is crazy for Fender guitar's that's why I have two...for now and they're both strato's and yeah most people and guitar players like guitar's like fender and fender because of the quality and quality of the sound and of course of it's shape makes the guitar really comfortable to play on

Personally I prefer the thinner neck of the Ibanez brand. Then again the Stagemaster also has a thinner neck than regular Fenders.

Fender has a more rounder neck then any other guitar and you fingers have to be in a position like "ruined dominoes" again I don't know how to express myself and the position for Ibanez and Gibson is like you're holding an apple that's how your hand has to be that you can play really good and that's how you get speed while playing I don't know what song and it's precisely to play like that and you won't miss the strings but it doesn't have to be like that you can play like that and still miss you have to practice a lot in hitting the strings I have an old guitar book whehere you can learn everything about play the guitar: chords, notes, tabs etc. and of course you need to have a lot of nerves and the will to learn and play, don't think I'm a geek about guitar I'm saying from what I've learned from that book, my dad and my own expirience

the first thing I learned are hitting the strings without looking at them and tabs, tabs are logic to play you see on what string are the numbers and you hit them example you didn't know that the first string is the thinnest one and the last one is the thickest and the 0 you can't find on the fretboard you logicaly you would play it free without holding it and the other example 2 and 3 and they are on the last two strings that would be(E and A)and you "didn't know that" and when you try playing that song you would hear that the sound isn't right so you would after some time think and say "I see the sound is wrong, so it must be I'm playing on the wrong string and then you would know that you've played on the(E and B) but you had to play on the (E and A) I mean I think that you're smart enough to do get that and I think that's logic but correct me if I'm wrong
