Kiesel, flamed maple/Cali burst. Zebra wood fretboard. She is getting deep clean and full set-up. Can't wait to hear this one when I'm done

What is your Why? Why did you pick the instrument you play/are learning? For me, I've always loved the guitar. Ever since I can remember, I've been fascinated with the instrument for its expressiveness. Not to mention, all guitars look cool AF. 😀 As for the band that made me want to play, well if I go back to when I was five (probably even younger), my cousin gave me her Beatles albums. They were long broken up by that time, but I became obsessed with the four lads from Liverpool, in particular, the guitar parts. :) As for shredding, that came later in life and you can thank Metallica's Kirk Hammett for that. That first listen to For Whom the Bell Tolls still sticks with me.

Thanks for letting me join the community. My name is Steven Sawyer I have been playing guitar off and on since high school. I’m now 48. I’ve always had a problem understanding the fretboard. I’ve always wanted to play lead guitar but I struggle with the fretboard.

Hello! I'm Kim, been "playing" for years.. self taught.. with tabs.. sometimes by ear. Anyways I don't know squat about theory, how the fretboard works, what notes are in key with each other.. etc etc. You get the idea. I'm looking to get better so I can at least hold my own in a jam without looking like such a newb.

She will feel better and sound better. Definitely look better. I don't think I've ever spent more on pickups than I did the guitar.
