That guitar will do you fine until you know enough to know better. :) You will know when it is time to upgrade! If you are not sure, go to a geet store and try a couple.


If you want an opinion, drop that geet and get a Squier (any squier), or Epiphone Special II. Consider your music style, then make a choice.

You night get along fine with that guitar. But you should be planning for an upgrade. IMO. (And btw, I am huge fan of the Epi II.)
