Title: Newby from Texas
Post by: pknight6 on May 24, 2020, 11:26:18 PM
I am a beginner and have been for 43 years.  I bought an Epiphone FT-120 acoustic in 1977. My BIL at the time played in a C&W band and he started teaching me a little.  That ended when he and my sister split up.  In the ensuing years I have pick up the guitar occasionally and strummed a few chords.  I retired in 2015 planning on cruising and traveling the world.  That plan was working great until Covid-19 came calling.  Being stuck at home made me pick up the guitar again.  I found Guitar Tricks and figured I would try a month.  I learned more in that month than ever before.  I decided I would try an electric and bought a Fender Player Strat Limited Addition and a Fender Champion 50XL amp.  I was having a lot of fun with the Strat, but it spoiled me for the Epiphone.  I decided I needed a better acoustic.  I researched and tried a few and finally settled on the 214ce.  I might never need the c part, but I just fell in love with the look of it.  I've only had the 214ce a couple of days, but I think I am going to love it.  At least until GAS strikes again.
