File Under: Mi guitarra

Slightly before my birthday I bought myself an electric guitar starter kit. It was made by Behringer and cost a whopping $130. It came with a nice 15w tube amp, a Strat wannabe, and other things you need to start playing.

When I first began, I was happy, even though the frets were sharp on the edges. The longer I played the more I became annoyed with the tone and action. As I was stopping into the music store on a regular basis to check out sheet music, this was a dangerous situation. Being a frugal guy, I did some research and learned that I needed to spend some time setting it up. I set about to adjust the neck, the action, the intonation, and pickups. I don't think the factory even tried to set this thing up. I also filed those sharp fret bars. After doing all this, it sounded and played better than it had. However, you can't guild a turd, so it was time to buy a big boy guitar.

After much research, and finding a hell of a good deal (dealer cost) I ended up buying this Hagstrom Super Swede, it came well recommended on Harmony Central and plays so smooth and sounds great. Eventually, I hope to be able to do this guitar justice.
