My first electric guitar

I only picked up a guitar in January of this year, but am already hooked past the point of no return :-[ I have a Yamaha F310 acoustic and while I am happy with it I have been yearning for an electric guitar for a little while now. I go to lessons with Ian Visser in Paarl and he sneakily let me play with some of his electrics at my last lesson. The Mexican Fender Strat and the PRS Santana SE really caught my ear. I now NEED an electric guitar but am struggling to convince the wife ☹ I am going to have to promise to pick up more doggy do, wash the dishes for a month and anything else I can think of to convince her that tomorrow is the perfect day to go shopping 8) This guitar stuff is addictive ? Wish me luck!

Thanks all. The wife is fine with it as she understands that this guitar interest is not a passing phase. The more time I spend on guitar the more interested I become. Music theory, scales, history of early music pioneers etc is my reading matter of choice now when my fingers are too sore to practice. I am still a rank beginner but in a year or two I hope to not embarrass myself at a braai. There are far worse hobbies to have and now that I have ordered some headphones I won't even have to hide in the garage while playing, so my family will get to see me again :?

Nice! Looks similar to my MIM Strat.

I also only have one guitar...

Though i'd really like 3, i only need 3! a Strat, a Tele, and something more hollow! Im not a hoarder!

But seriously though, don't try pull the wool over the S.O's eyes - too easy to get busted (and once you lose trust...). I buy guitars and my wife buys cameras ...and occasionally she buys me guitars and I buy her cameras. ?

+1 - Seriously! Keep it open and you'll be able to get more in future ?
