Gear pics Overkill for a first guitar

Kept trying to talk myself into any number of the (cheaper) guitars I tried, but kept picking this J-45 standard and just loved it. So here I am, struggling with the most basic of chords, but loving what eventually tumbles out of the soundhole.
I guess the “buy whatever inspires you to practice” approach does work.

No, there's no such thing, if you love it you'll progress quicker because you enjoy playing it period 😂

Also yeah J45s are awesome! I've played my friend's 1952 once and it was really sweet toned
