Maybe I do ... Maybe I do.

But if I owned the company, I'd have the full set of effects pedals, and a mage huge $5000 amp, like the one John's got.

My dad bought my brother a guitar. He played for five minutes, set it down and never picked it up again. After seeing it sit there for a month I asked dad if I could have it. He gave it to me and I've played it ever since. I'm not good or anything. i'm decent at rhythm, and getting there with lead stuff. So yeah, I play.

I'm looking at saving up for a new amp, an effects pedal set (like Boss E50 or one of those ones that have like 2 wah wah pedals built in), and a sampler/looper.. and maybe a wah wah if the effects one needs another :) SOOO excited.. but it'll be expensive so we'll see :P

honestly, it might just suck. I've had nothing but bad experiences with cheap guitars. A common problem is that the strings are too far away from the fretboard, making it extremely hard to play, not to mention the fact that it will tear up your fingers. Another problem I've noticed was that they don't hold tuning very well. Tune it, and a day later it sounds absolutely terrible. Save your money and invest in a Fender.
