I’d say the real fuck up is spending so much money on a guitar as a beginner.
Maybe you’ll stick with it and it won’t matter but a lot of people end up not sticking with it.
My recommendation to beginners is to buy a cheap guitar. If you find yourself still playing it a year later, then start thinking about upgrading.
Jumping straight into a $3k guitar just doesn’t make sense to me unless the money doesn’t matter. Since you’re a beginner having a top quality instrument isn’t going to matter and you won’t tell the difference. By the time you do know the difference this advice doesn’t matter anymore.
Why the judgy negative response without even reading their question? The guitar they mentioned is a squire affinity deluxe tele which is less than 300 bones, so squarely in the beginner price range. I dont know where you got 3k from..
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
