I actually went to a music shop today that's close by my house and inform them of my cheap Amazon guitar that is on its way and I'll need to take it there for them to put it into tune for me.
I did pick up a guitar there and like the song jukebox hero it felt good in my hand LOL... I do like the idea of the thinner strings being easier to hold.. and while I hear what you're saying I really don't know anything about guitars or what you're saying.. but I reckon that will be the fun of it the learning...
