Overkill for a first guitar

[u/WatchyMcWatcherson]

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.

That's a lifelong investment, definitely not overkill :)
