What a difference a day makes. It's hard to justify spending $1000-$1500 on a guitar, amp and effects pedal after five months of playing. Now I'm leaning toward the value packs. Originally my thinking was if I bought a cheap guitar, it would be easier to walk away if frustration sets in. Thats hard to do if I invest a lot of money into something. It seems as though every guitar player has a beater and a good guitar. So, I'll do the prudent thing and get a beginner guitar. Then, once I get past Twinkle Twinkle, I'll buy a better one.
