while it sounds negative its but in the future you should really try before you buy. just head over to your local shop or guitar center and try what you want. and the best part is you dont need to buy it on the spot, but if you do decide to buy sometimes you might be able to get a really good deal on it or even get your self some pickup upgrades or even a good price on a case. just like when you buying a used car dont be too interested in it and they might start knocking some off the price.
good luck on learning and have some great fun.
They say the END is near, but I'm Tired of waiting.
