Electric guitar...

I will also add this… buy the best instrument you can find. A good instrument will be a pleasure to play, and will keep you wanting to play it. A low budget instrument will be a struggle, they just don’t have the finesse and playability of a better instrument. You don’t want a struggle when you’re first starting out. And, good instruments hold their value if you want to sell it and upgrade.
Too late! LOL I bought the cheapest Amazon pile of crap I could afford... Actually I did upgrade to the better pile of crap... Again with that said like I was just saying in my last post I'll take it to the guitar shop and maybe have them restring it or tune it and play it and tell me what's wrong with it. I'm not afraid to spend money but at the first timer level I'd rather go shopping at Harbor Freight to see if I can turn the wrenches and then when I get good head over to snap-on ..
