[quote=Andy A - USA]Yeah, but I'm a frugal guy.
I don't disagree, you are absolutely right about not under-buying. I've certainly done that before. I wish I'd have started out with a higher quality guitar when I was 15 and not have spent years incrementally "buying up." /quote]
I didn't read every response.
I would only submit that I
tend to think too many 'under-buy'.
In this context....being 'frugal' is one thing, being
imprudent with a purchase of this nature is another.

I would suggest buy something that you will not grow out of in a short amount of time.
Happy spending....carry on.
