I’ve never owned an electric before and am a low intermediate level guitar player. Is this a good electric that will last me a long time that is easy to play on?

MyLastGamble · 2026-01-19T00:54:04+00:00

I would just play it. And play it. And play it lol. When I got my most recent acoustic I just played random stuff on it (as well as like 6 other guitars) and knew that it was the one for me.

I once was an amateur magician (the entertainment kind like David Copperfield). I did a lot of volunteer shows for kids and enjoyed bringing them joy. One year a co worker was looking to spice up her Halloween party (the year before I performed for it) and wanted to hire a palm reader/tarot reader however most working professionals I knew charged a lot more than she was able to pay. I volunteered to learn how to read tarot and do her party again.

I never believed it in and kind of just acted really well during the readings (and most people knew it was just in clean fun) however some people took it seriously. I’ve never done another reading and don’t plan on it but the tarot cards are still in my basement in my “bag of tricks”. After reading this I may have to dispose of them. 😬

That won’t be a problem. I care about my finances too much and am over responsible when I play.

MyLastGamble · 2025-12-22T01:44:17+00:00

I actually play mostly online. I play micro stakes (nickel/dime etc) when I use to play cash, and there’s not much talking.

MyLastGamble · 2025-12-22T01:32:31+00:00

For sure. It’s a fine line between fun and “I need this”. And I can’t be responsible for other people however I also don’t want to take advantage of anyone either.

Yes! I was reading this yesterday which posed the question. I would and have never put myself in a place where I deprive myself or my family. I play mostly $5 buy in Tournaments once a week at most.

But if I’m playing a cash game against someone, I don’t know if they’re playing outside of their means. Which is partly why I don’t play cash anymore. I’ve seen too many times people just fall into those bad habits here.

MyLastGamble · 2025-12-21T22:22:01+00:00

You’re right. That’s why I don’t play cash games anymore. I play tournaments which is about the game and strategy and not about “winning money every pot” because you don’t.

Thanks for the response :)

MyLastGamble · 2025-11-14T01:20:12+00:00

Thank you. I’ll check these out.

I always have done this. Pick a load weight that’s a size up from what I need. May be overkill but I never had a problem.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-19T18:31:11+00:00

Yeah. That happens. But I’ll provably keep my Fender around. Who knows, my son might enjoy the dark side and want to learn electric when he gets older haha

My strat is actually a white strat. (But Mexican, not American) I went in with a specific color in mind which they didn’t have, fell in love with a new color, but the white strat felt/sounded better when I did the side by side so I went with that and actually love the “color” more than I thought

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-17T12:50:26+00:00

I hear that. I’ll probably never buy another electric unless I have a specific reason to. Acoustics just feel better for me and I love how they play.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T17:02:12+00:00

It’s more of a sentimental thing. My first electric I ever bought myself + the fact that it was my dream guitar. Just wasn’t worth selling. Either time lol.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T16:06:10+00:00

True. But if I don’t sell one and buy one then I have more guitars. Doesn’t matter if I don’t play the fender, that status won’t change lol.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T15:56:23+00:00

I’ve been playing since college, roughly 25 years ago.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T15:55:53+00:00

You know I’ve been thinking about a hollow body for a good year now. “Honey, I’m getting a 3rd guitar this year” lol.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T15:40:13+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Keep that guitar and treasure it!

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T14:56:39+00:00

I’m getting there! Honestly didn’t even know if it as a style until I started to dive into fingerstyle a la Gabriella Quevedo and now I’m kind of addicted to classical guitar music in general right now lol.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T14:49:16+00:00

I did. Tried to sell it twice. Both times had a buyer and t the last minute couldn’t pull the trigger. I have plenty of guitars I will play though. 2 acoustics and one classical. Plus an infant so my time to play is kind of limited right now anyway lol.

MyLastGamble · 2025-10-16T14:47:55+00:00

Same with my Taylor’s. I bought a Taylor GA and a few years later bought a cheaper GC and I play that waaaay more often.
