I'd love to own both in the end, but to get started, which one should I invest in to get a NICE one first? I have a hammy-down acoustic that belonged to my grandfather, so it's not a super nice one. My mom thinks I should invest my money in a nice acoustic because "i don't need an electric, because i'm not going to be playing in a rock band!" ha. I love how she says things that feel like daggers in my heart because that's exactly what i was hoping, that I could get some friends together and have a band. So much with that because it'll end up turning into my mom telling me 'I shouldn't lower myself to such a low potential. I have so much going for me, so why would I waste myself by putting myself in some low-life band?' oh well. back to my question. Like I said, she wants me to invest in an acoustic, but I want a nice starter electric. I've wanted to play guitar for years, so I'm not fearing a lack of commitment, but I am scared that I won't want to play my guitar because its nothing like its supposed to sound. Songs that I would want to aim to play are from bands like Hinder, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, and maybe some Metallica eventually because their guitar parts are just that cool. Occasionally I know I would want to play something like Tim McGraw or some other country for my family, since no one else in the house likes rock. Should I just do what my mom said and get a nice acoustic or should I follow what I think will make me happy in the end, even if it ends up getting me in fights with my mom, and get an electric? I have a really crappy acoustic and my grandfather's old acoustic (Its a Jester if anyone knows the quality of that)... Read More »
