I feel like writing about this. I’ve been thinking about getting an electric guitar for my birthday. Just so you know, it’s on May 6th.
I have three guitars in mind. My first choice would be a Les Paul. Hopefully a nice sunburst one. If not a Les Paul, then a good Strat. If not a Strat, then maybe a Tele. I know, those are used by like a lot of people.
One thing I have to say is very sad is that pretty much all the guitar buying guides I’ve looked at online are either very crappy and not in-depth or are trying to sell me something. I’ve made a checklist of things I plan to get. Here it is:
- Guitar
- Strap
- Case
- Tuner (I’ve been using an app for my acoustic guitar)
- Cable
- Amp
- Capo (Thanks, Marina!)
I dunno if I missed anything. Tell me if I did.

A Quepo (pronounced kay-po). Well I don’t know, I have an acoustic but for some reason I have no case for it…or a strap. My dad wants to get me an electric, but I don’t want one. Just yet.
Ooh, thanks. I forgot about the capo.
