Okay, buckle up! You are in for a story....
I have achieved remission from multiple brain disorders in the last 6 months. Listening to music was a huge part of that recovery.
I figured if listening to music had done so much to make me feel better, then playing music would really make me feel better!
You would not believe how happy I am to have been right about that.
I order a beginner instrument that was perfectly playable but I found it a little too small. I had also dove head first into guitar culture on YouTube and was starting to figure out what styles of guitar music I enjoyed most, what those guys were playing and then who was making similar entry level style guitars. Then I started watching reviews on YouTube on this particular instrument, the Fender Squire Classic Vibe Starcaster.
Amazon had the only one I could get reasonably quickly.
It is not an overly expensive guitar but its not cheap either, well the entry level is still a pretty decent guitar for not a lot of money.
Value for dollar: I think this instrument is finished quite well. It’s not perfect but it is much higher quality than I would expect from an instrument that showed up in a cardboard box on my door step one morning! I paid less than $550 and I think it was a great purchase I will enjoy for the rest of my life.
This guitar is so good that even my horrible playing manages to sound half decent every once and a while.
It required a tune out of the box but other than that it plays flawlessly.
BUT WAIT.... there’s more...
This guitar is the most beautiful object I have ever owned and the most beautiful thing I have ever been fortunate to plunk away at.
The f holes, the natural maple finish, that incredible head stock! It’s a beauty!
I still can’t believe it’s mine.
I have been playing it every day, well, as much as my fingers will tolerate. I’m up to 2.5 hours a day so far.
This journey in music has given me new purpose, an healthy obsession for a change, this instrument makes me want to become a great guitarist so that I can make it sound as great as it looks!
It has given me hope, so that shall be its name, Hope.
See that smile? That is Hope!
Buy it, spend the little extra for the Classic Vibe, I am sure you will agree its worth it when you see it with your own eyes and feel that sweet neck.
Find your passion, find your Hope!
