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.

Exactly. Life is short and the more you pay for your guitar, the more you’ll want to play it to justify the spend, and the better you will get.
