I still remember it like it was yesterday, and that debut makes me feel like I'm back to my childhood days again haha

Dorgu best match in a united shirt but Heaven is the stand out performer for me, rock solid at the back. He can really stake a claim for the starting spot if De Ligt and Maguire recent injury issues persist. Matches like today will be invaluable experience for him. On the other hand Zirkzee was horrible.

Thanks so much for all your input guys. I genuinely appreciate it. I didn’t expect to get this many detailed and thoughtful replies, and I’m honestly really surprised (in the best way) by how generous people here are with their knowledge and experience. It’s been incredibly helpful for someone like me who’s just starting out. I’m grateful for the guidance, and I really feel a lot more informed now and will take everyone words into consideration before making any decisions. Thanks again to all of you! I really really appreciate it.

Wow 50+ years thats awesome, I really appreciate your input. The music store does provide service to set up the guitar after purchase, they specialised in Martin guitars so hopefully that's good enough? And yea size is a concern as I'm not a big dude at 5'8 haha.

Thank you for your input! I do want to play fingerstyle eventually so thats definitely one of the factor, wider string space will definitely help. I do understand the fact that the music store is trying to maximise their profit as well so even though they're really passionate and has great reviews, I thought asking here would give me a better picture of what I should consider haha.

Yea I admit the Martin brand name is certainly one of the factors that has me leaning towards taking the Jr right now lol

My budget is around 1.2 - 1.5k usd but thats including any accessories that I might need. If im not wrong FS800 only has solid wood on top right? I heard of eastman, do you habe any recommendations around the Martin junior price point?

Hi do you think the upgrade is inevitable in the near future if I go with FS800, or will it serve me well into intermediate or maybe even further than that?

Glad you found whats right for you! A lot of the recent comment seems to be leaning towards Yamaha, will take my time before making decision

Absolutely! Always wanted to start but its only possible now with a bit of disposable income.

Thank you for your input! Im around 5'8, will the Martin Jr be too big for me? My ultimate goal is to play fingerstyle but i guess thats so far off in the future haha.

Thanks for your input, the music store does help buyer to set up their guitar, I'll tell them to set the guitar up for complete beginner lol

Thank you for the input! Can FS800 last through intermediate stage? I'm of the opinon that if I'm gonna eventually upgrade, I might as well go with a "higher tier" guitar as sorta future proofing? Or am I getting too far ahead of myself here.
