I think there are few things in this world as satisfyingly nice as sticking some new strings in, tuning.... that first open chord, triiiinngggggg... beautiful! Well, of course there are other things... but this is a family board!

But that might just be me lol.

I think i need to go back on what i said. Because now ive looked into acoustics more i love both. Theyre just used for different music. I wouldnt worry about buying either electric or acoustic. Id buy both. Different guitars for different music....
