New guitarist from South Florida
Hello everyone! I worked all summer, allocating money to invest in a new hobby, but didn't know what would suit me. My dad is an electric guitarist, a great number of friends are taking Guitar as an elective, so I thought why not, I like rock, I enjoy listening to my dad so I might as well join the bandwagon. So before I knew it I was off to Sam Ash to purchase my setup!Now I'm a person who doesn't like to start off lightly so I wanted a nice guitar and a nice amp. The only guitar I was familiar with was a Fender Stratocaster from watching Wayne's World, which by the way I found very sexy. That was my dream guitar and thats what I bought. Purchased the Fender Stratocaster 60th Anniversary Edition along with a Line 6 Spider II 112. Now I didn't just waltz in the store and buy them, I tried out the guitar, fell in love with it, tried the amp, and felt the same love. I havn't stopped practicing since I bought them ! Over the last four days i've spent at least 10 hours practicing by myself and with my dad. Couldn't be more proud of my purchase. Found this forum shortly before I got my guitar and seemed to be the friendliest community out there for beginners. Thanks for having me and I hope to talk to the majority of all of you soon.

G'day Manny
Welcome along mate! That particular Strat is a real beauty isn't it. I've often drooled over that model at my local guitar shop too.
