New toy
So Guitar Center is having this big sale over Memorial Day weekend, and I stopped by while I was in Knoxville today...
Yes, it's your basic starter guitar/amp combo because I was curious but cheap.
I bought it knowing full well I might have to buy a $500 washing machine soon. (Turns out I don't, since I remembered I bought a service plan on the last one. I feel sorry for the pushy saleswoman at hhgregg that mentioned the "5 year service plan," because it reminded me of that.)
I was That Guy and asked the guy at Guitar Center whether they had one sitting out of the box (because obviously people going for the starter set want to try it out first). And I asked whether it was good if you're just starting to play electric (I meant "since I am not a complete noob, am I going to be sorry I didn't shell out a couple hundred more for a better one in a few weeks?" but I think it came out "hi, I'm too lazy to read the box that plainly says 'START LEARNING TO PLAY.'")
Yes, I feel guilty that I put the sales rep through all that crap, as if my decision to drop $129 in Guitar Center (where price tags often have four digits) was that important in the grand scheme of things.
Yes, I'm pretty happy with it.
Yes, I'm keeping it downstairs near the plastic rock instruments for now (because I don't really have room in my room, and I don't want to annoy the roommates.) And, yes, I love the fact that it looks just like the Rock Band 1 guitar.
Yes, I've done some fingerpicking on it, so I think I've probably earned the wrath of the rock gods already.
