nah. buy something that will last a lifetime.

no since in buying a $500 guitar to learn on (then buy something nicer later on) when you can get a $1300 one for $700 and learn on something quality. and never have to buy another one again.

Great idea in theory... but it's sort of like cigar accessories. Sure you've got a lighter, cutter, and traveldor, but that won't stop you from buying more, right?



By the way, great looking guitar!

Nice guitar! Ive never played a Larrivee, but have heard good things about them. Sometimes paying a little more on something to learn on will give you the extra motivation to stick with it.

Congratulations, Rob!!!
Gorgeous guitar. Even if you don't play it, she'll look good on a stand in the living room.

Very nice, I'm getting an ESP electric from a work program. Never played, always wanted to so I figured why not, maybe my kids will get an interest when I get it.

For a minute I thought this said "soiling myself." Now I see that it's the same thing!
