Hey guys,
Thanks for replying.

Cryptic Excretions -> yep, thats the same advise i followed when i purchased my guitar, I love the way it looks, the way it feels and the way it sounds...and even the way it stands in the corner when i am not playing it :p
but the other day i went for a private lesson and the guy told me I would have to upgrade in around a year (or sooner) and when i asked him why and how do you judge a good guitar he told me its just the feel of the wood, if its handmade and you just need experience to judge a good guitar unless you are buying a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Strato...I kind of got the feeling that he was taking me for a little spin.

The thing is, I cant afford a Les Paul or a Strato so am going in for an "unknown" brand, I have very little experience with guitars (playing just a few weeks...actually, around 10 weeks)
I want to later get into rock/blues, but am taking it step by step first learning Acustic and playing simple songs like Lennon's "Imagine",Elton's "Daniel", Lennon's "Woman", Pauls "Yesterday",and Eagle's "Hotel California"

I'm also messing around with a few scales (eg: minor/major pentatonic) and learning the fretboard properly...along with what makes chords, finding the 3rd,5th or major 7th in a chord etc

Truthfully, I have never played a single note on an Electric, thats why i threw my question here in your collective pool of knowledge as you guys are mostly mucccch more experenced that me.

Any other advise, (however obvious you might think it is) is most welcome.
Eg:
(Good/Bad) things to watch out for

Thanks,
Ryan
