Roxx Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I recently have had some extra time at home and have been browsing on line. I read guitar posts and Youtube videos while taking a playing and song writing break. I am puzzled by the advice some people give. The one that has got me questioning these experts is, telling that buying a Gibson Les Paul is recommended for a beginner and not quite as professional as a gigging guitar. Beginner guitar??? A statement like this makes me lose any kind of credibility for that person. Strange advice ! In fact ,I believe quite the opposite. A beginning guitar player should be learning on a less expensive instrument. That way they can appreciate quality later on in their career. They may never be able to recognize tonal quality and workmanship if they are not experiencing the cheaper market. Anyone that thinks a Gibson is inferior to many other knock-offs, really don't know enough to give advice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamrockGuitar Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I would definitely agree with you, beginners are better off focusing on becoming better players than gear. With that being said, it's good to have a solid ax that's set up well and intonated, You can always reward yourself for improving your skills by upgrading gear.
