Re: Guitars
I have a Danelectro 4-string with lipstick pickups. It's super-light so it's pretty ideal for playing in energetic bands. Except I don't do that.
Meh, "Beginner Guitar" sounds like it's a badly made guitar and beginners won't notice so that they make money. You want a normal acoustic, which can cost at least £100 for a good one new.
I disagree, I'm pretty sure the band Polvo (who are big underground, trust me) used beginner's instruments in the 90's.
