Exactly my point , others saying on here not to buy the good stuff,,,as I stated earlier I have dirt bikes that cost more ,,,they will end up in a scrap yard but the guitars well
I never knew there was so much to learn on this type of stringed instrument,,,here after watching that blammed up kid on the movie " deliverance " out playing Hendrix,Clapton,and page with a banjo ...
Don't want to start a fight but 2 yes into playing I really doubt there is a better " all around " electric guitar than the American professional fender stratocaster....
There I said it .
Don't know about that I'm 59 and have only been playing 2 yrs this December,,,, I don't have the time to deal with buying and trading up ,,, I am not FLEXING it's a hobby , why pursue it at my age with lesser spec models? ,,I have 5 hard Enduro dirt bikes made in Europe which cost 2 x what a...
I do agree,,,,the problem was I had a window to get these that spanned about 2 yrs and I will be 60 soon,,,I don't know when I'm getting off this bus ride called life, and time they're not making ..then as I've seen the hands / fingers start to go
I was so uneducated on equipment I bought what I thought would be useful, I commend you on your playing time, working I couldn't do it but retired I can,,,,alot of men I know that once played have given it up or rarely do it,,,, hanging them on the wall sad...
I agree , and I really love playing I play about 1.5 -3 hrs each day very rewarding , don't plan on playing in front of a crowd ,,,and forget the guitars how bout those ridiculous priced AMPS ??? My go-to is the Dr z wreck Jr,,,,and instead of messing w/ pedals or buttons yet I use the boss...
And why custom? I'm left handed only in guitar and writing everything else I'm right hand,,,and I wanted an American made PRS ,,,never going to happen in their U.S made stuff so I bought this kiesel which is a very close replica
Sadly I waited until 2019 I was 57 y/o to buy my 1st guitar fender stratocaster American prof left it in its case, until 2020 I retired March 2 2020 started playing ,,,,then bought a Taylor 214ce koa acoustic in may 2020 , waited til Jan 2021 bought Gibson Les Paul 60s standard , then March...
I got it to a skilled Luthier who mainly is a PRS tech and he got it to spec now I can play it and I'm thankful ,,, I learned a great lesson not buying from a local facility
I personally think after multiple phone / email back and forth that they have a great manufacturer setup and zero post checklist where a tech checks off each item and signs like all their competitors
The guitar travels 2000+ miles with 5 changes it appears of facility, no damage to box or guitar , 1 string broke , 3 springs in case,,,,I had all of the issues corrected yesterday by a Luthier and now I'm playing
