I am no musician, but I have been doing my best to give my girlies an ear for the specific instruments that make up music. I now have one who wants a bass, another a keyboard and a third who wants to play guitar like clapton and Stevie Ray. I can see myself getting hammered in lessons and equipment in the near future.
A buddy of mine got one of the 3000 series Les Paul copies, and as a former Gibson LP owner, it is an equivalent guitar at about 1/4 of the price. Very nice stuff...JFK
