THE GUITAR SOLUTION
Every guitarist has a story to tell—usually a horror story—about his or her first guitar. First guitars are almost always bad ones, with warped necks, excessively high string action, necks that are too wide for a young player's hands, and off the wall names that nobody ever heard of.

Every guitarist has a story to tell—usually a horror story—about his or her first guitar. First guitars are almost always bad ones, with warped necks, excessively high string action, necks that are too wide for a young player's hands, and off the wall names that nobody ever heard of. Learning to play on one of these bargain basement monsters is more of an exercise in withstanding pain and misery than it is the joyous experience of making one's own music. There can be no doubt that thousands of would-be guitarists were discouraged and gave up trying to learn to play, simply because the first guitar they picked up couldn't have been played by Segovia, much less by a beginner.
