After selling guitars for pretty darn long ...i've learned a few things .

Here's my RM0.02

Your first guitar , should be a guitar that you like .
Something that inspires you , something that looks like what your idol play , or something that you think is damn cool .

The whole point of the first guitar , is to make sure you don't leave the guitar a side and collect dust .
What you want is - this guitar pushes you to move on and continue the learning journey no matter how hard and how tough it gets.
That is why it is important to buy something that you really really really like ...

When you are gonna purchase your second guitar , then value for money , tone , specs , setup , brand , resale value etc etc factor kicks in .
