I'll get it out of the loft .... Will update tomorrow with some spec and pics then.

As for a worth-while present, I'd always fancied a guitar, and asked for it, so yes it was appreciated at the time. I've just not continued with it, that's all.

If you have never played one before it is hard to stick at it. Worse bit is getting your fingertips to harden up and then being able to dislocate your fingers to achieve certain chords!

Best learning on an acoustic if you ever decide to take it up again.

Electrics have a lower action though. Makes things a little easier when your just starting out. If it's an original 50's Fender I'll have it!

Doubt it will be an original fender given the price and you should learn on an acoustic it makes your fingers stronger making you a better player in the long run

Aye, action is defo lower on electrics, and strings are easier to push down. I've always felt acoustic is better for learning on though, just because of the technique and because it's so easy to pick up and play - no faffing about plugging it in etc.

Of course it's not. Only joking. I watched an original broadcaster (tele) priced on the american version of antiques road show, valued at $70,000!

The guy that had it did'nt even know what it was. Left o him by his Father in-law! Mad.
