Nice. I had an Olympic white Jag for a while last year. Brilliant guitars but I sold mine because it didn't feel 'right' for some reason. Still keep looking at them on eBay though.....

You really need to get out there and try a few different guitars to be honest.

There's no such thing as the perfect guitar and expensive isn't always the right way to go depending on what sounds you're looking for.

Also guitar necks can differ quite a lot so you really need to get your hands on some to know exactly what you're looking for.

Get a cheap acoustic and practice on that, if you take to it then upgrade, if not you've not wasted much.<br /><br />-- Sat Sep 22, 2012 9:53 pm --<br /><br />

I had one just like that but I swapped it for a custom Tele.

Still not sure if I did the right thing.

This for me.

Not getting any younger and learning how to play the guitar is something that I have always wanted to do. What would people recommend as far as learning goes? Lessons or go it alone and try and pick it up yourself?

There's a few guys on youtube who do free lessons, I'd start with them and then decide if you need more help or if you're happy as you are. If you have a friend who plays, it comes in handy to have someone to ask questions and show you things but youtube makes things much easier.

I taught myself but neglected a lot of theory and I'm only really catching up on that now despite having been playing most of my life so watch out for that.

Thanks for that. I appreciate it. I'll check out youtube. My daughter has got a 3/4 acoustic so I'll nick that off her and take it from there!
