Next time I go out to their place I'll be sure to take pics of him with the Loomis! He will be smiling from ear to ear.
Now he's saving up for a Mesa Dual Rec. So am I.

After his dad got home from work he was pretty pissed off that he bought a 7 and not a strat like his. He told his dad to get out of the stone age!
lmao
Reminds me of my first guitar. Let me tell you the story, was funny.
After a couple months having guitar classes, I remember my dad telling me "You want to play guitar? Ok, your mom will go to the stores with you and buy you a guitar" (I was 12-13 years old don't remember exactly, and my dad didn't like the idea of me playing guitar in rock bands), and then he said to my mom something like "Get that kid something good looking and versatile so that he can play different styles of music, I don't want that kid to play bad music (bad music for him is metal, rock, etc lol)".
So I went to the stores, and after seeing hundreds of strats and superstrats and playing a few of them, mom asks "So, which one did you like considering what we can spend?", and there was me, pointing in the direction of a Fly-V 1967 model, it was an Epiphone.
I ended up convincing mom to buy it, and a 30w amp too. When my dad arrived from work I was in the living room, with the amp cranked, distortion set to max, and playing my new V. Mom wasn't at home. He was like "What the fuck, didn't I tell you to get a "normal" guitar?", I said "Yea, I want to play metal, so this is normal" and went straight to my room carrying my stuff. No need to say that dad got pissed that night, hell yeah lol

That's funny. When I first started playing guitar, I learned on an acoustic. Eventually I wanted an electric. So my teacher at the time told me that he'd pick out a few for me to try at my next lesson. Next lesson, he hands me two Jackson's (both Concept models, both with Floyds). And I was quietly pissed--why didn't he bring me a Fender? What's this Jackson shit? I've never even heard of them! 
LOL
Needless to say I eventually got a clue, and was VERY thankful he picked out such wicked guitars for me!

He needs to get internet at his house first. But after he does, i'll make sure he joins the rest of us. Already showed him the site at my house and he really liked it.

Thanks man Start him off early in the right direction. I figured if he had a guitar with more range he would become a better musician and a better player!

A little update - Went out to his house the other day and did a restring on it for him. The Ernie balls sound way better than the stock strings. And we actually got his dad to try it out! He played it for a good 15 minutes this time. He only played with my 7 for a few seconds. Maybe his old man is coming around to being more open minded. We can only hope!

+1 for starting guitarists on ERGs. It will only broaden their playing range, and that's got to be a good thing .
My offspring will learn to play on RG2228s

Well some time ago I posted on here about a friend of mine telling me that I should sell all of my japan made 7 string junk and get a real guitar. To him the American Fender Strat is the only real guitar in the world worth playing!
Well his son is now playing guitar and was saving up for one of his own. After his dad got home from work he was pretty pissed off that he bought a 7 and not a strat like his. He told his dad to get out of the stone age!
If this isn't a clear cut case of Karma being an absolute bitch. I don't know what is.

I think he started to change his mind after he found out that a lot of jazz players use 7s, and that they are just not for playing metal.

You know that guy from M.A.N. with the 11 string? That's what my kids will start on, then they can move DOWN
But seriously, starting guitarists out on ergs is a great idea. There's no reason NOT to have more range, and the Dad is just being an elitist. Glad to see he's finally opening his mind up finally.
OMG, THAT HAS ONE MORE STRING THEREFORE IT'S NOT THE SAME AND SUCKS!!!... Yeah... I really hate people with the mentality that people who play ERG's are just trying to grab attention.
