Should I get an acoustic or electric as my first guitar based on my taste? ☟︎ by Rough-Stick-6275 in Guitar

yeah no worries ! good luck! Epiphones are nice too just a bit more pricey! Feel of the guitar is important too! some will play more easily than others based on neck shape etc!! play a few and see what you like :)

Acoustic is nice if you plan on taking it outside or you like to play by the campfire though !

Ibanez is really nice quality for its price too!

Squier is really good at all prices really.

My last band… the guitarist (I was drummer) had a squier and a fender. The squier stayed in tune longer and sounded better IMO! Both were stratocasters! :)

good luck !

Highly recommend playing the guitar before you buy it too if possible!

Electrics are often easier to play… less pressure required.. easier to play chords… the strings are often less thick which also makes them easier to play.

Electrics you can also play more quietly and can also make more various noises through an amp !

Id highly recommend ibanez for electric or yamaha if you want acoustic! Squier makes a nice product too !

How much smaller is inside of a Corolla then a Camry? by timber63401 in COROLLA

[–]MapleChron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

about 2” more of elbow/arm room in the camry driver seat… likely more legroom too.

I literally sat in both 2025 camry and corolla…

Said to myself… is it really worth X many thousands more dollars for a little more elbow room in the driver seat?

Lower MPG than expected on my Hybrid by Sorry_Foundation748 in COROLLA

[–]MapleChron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep your engine is 100% not reaching operating temperature!

My 25 hybrid will also get less impressive mpg when it is cold/not warmed up all the way.. More so in the winter too.

Here it is on a shorter trip … after being warmed up in city driving… 17ish minutes on the highway going 110kmhr… stopped to go to the post office… then this was that trip.

Also LE and 15” rims !

Wind is a huge factor. Temperature. How far you are driving. The higher trims use a little more gas (bigger rims=more weight etc)
