Dang, those look pretty nice! The Squier Strat that I have must be one of their bottom-shelf models, it makes "guitar like noises", but it sure as hell doesn't sound like good ones do. Pretty discouraging. I'm sure it could be tweaked to be a lot better, but I don't know shit about that.Quote:

I started playing drums when I was 37. Picked up the bass when I was 40. Started played guitar when I was 42. It's not too late. My FIL is in his eighties and still gigs.Quote:

Yeah? I didn't learn to shoot until last year -- can't believe I went my entire life not doing this.Quote:

I can respect an informed opinion, even when it runs counter to my own. I can even respect a passionately held opinion, delivered with conviction. But sometimes, the holders of such informed, passionately held opinions can also be dicks. And nobody respects a dick.
My apologies. Your recommendation kind of came across that a young, new guitar player needed a very nice guitar.Quote:

Flying low in this thread, I'm 6' 2" and have rather long arms and huge hands. I have a full bodied Vega and honestly it's a pain in the ass play...I also have the Taylor mini and it's more comfortable for me so I recommended it.Quote:

If he stays with it, the higher action will help him with fret control later on when it's time for electric. This is my personal experience and what my instructors taught me. I'm only chiming into the thread because I hope the kid gets into music and enjoys playing, it is very rewarding when you're doing it right.
Age & arthritis to start with......Quote:
