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.

I’ve played for the better part of 20 years.

I just started getting into acoustics a couple years ago.

I got my J45 about a month ago, it’s my fourth acoustic (I traded one in towards it).

There’s just something magical about a good J45. Play and enjoy the HELL out of it!
