After changing guitar teachers, it became pretty evident pretty quickly that much of what I was leaning towards now (and what my teacher was eacher to teach) was more focused towards electric guitars. I had an accoustic (see Gallery/Hobbies/Guitar for a photo) – it’s an excellent guitar.
Kathy approved (she is wonderful!) getting a new guitar for Christmas. Well, I was struggling quite a bit so I got her to begrudgingly let me get the new guitar early so…
I, with the help of my instructor Mick, tried a bunch of guitars out. I was actually having a tough time of it because my skill set is just not to the level that I feel like I can really differentiate between 2 comparable (to me feel, tone, and such) choices. It’s good to have advice. I finally picked a Schecter solid body guitar pictured below:

It has a wonderful sound and feels great. It also happens to look great. The picture doesn’t really do it justice. The color is a black cherry which is much darker than the picture shows. Also the inlay on the finger board is very nice.
