Wow, I fucking suck at hitting the Send Comment button today...

Well, you're not wrong. Plus, I'm pretty sure I can decide in a matter of minutes if the guitar is actually any good.

But, I want to experience it as though I'm a completely new guitar player who's looking to dip a toe in the water to see if the guitar is the instrument for me. So, I want to start with basic scales and playability tests after setting the guitar up.

I've set a fairly hard limit at $300. (I'll give myself a 10% cushion.)

For that, I should be able to buy a guitar, buy an amp, buy spare strings, get picks, etc...

I'm even getting a chord bible book - with the first order as that'd be what a new guitar student would want.

I actually have an Amazon cart full of items, but the tax is gonna make it more than $300.

To be a true beginner you will need to play with it for a couple of hours then leave it in the closet for years LoL

I intend to be a 'committed' beginner.

It probably helps that I know what to look for. I've been able to find some pretty sweet deals on stuff that at least looks usable on paper.

This will be my 'first' guitar:

Looks like a Les Paul!

I am sure they use cheap as hell tuners and other hardware
