I remember my first electric guitar, a Stratocaster style copy. I was 12 years old then and it was a gift from my eldest brother. I loved it, and at that time I was more focused on learning the instrument instead of the sound. is correct, try the affordables first if you are just learning to play the instrument. Focus and learn, then get a better one if you can already afford it. Dont let your budger limit your playing. Cheers!
