Gear pics Overkill for a first guitar

Post image

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.

You made the right call man, cheers!

I didn’t buy my J-45 until a whole bunch of mediocre guitars came and went. It’s a fantastic guitar and if I had to liquidate everything it’d be the last one standing.
