And my first guitar was a sunburst Les Paul copy that was sooo crappy. The action was like 2 inches and it sounded like crap. But I played it for 3 years before buying something better. I do think it made me a better player though as well. But then again I think back sometimes and imagine just how much better I would be or faster I would have progressed with the guitar if I HAD started out with a quality instrument! So I think there are 2 sides to the debate about it better to start off with a cheap guitar. I can see advantages to both sides myself! ;)

Exactly what aschleman said!! I remember getting laughed at while playing my old Fender Katana when the other guys had Les Pauls and Rhoads Jacksons! But they could not play more than the intro to any song!! (That was 20 years ago!)
