Electric guitar...
I busted up my left hand pretty good in the early 90's racing motorcycles and quit playing. Sold off most all the gear because of the issues with my hand. Decided about 3-5 months ago to start noodling. I have a 77 les paul custom that weigh 5 tons. I wasn't real comfortable lugging it out to play plus if I mess that up, I'd be mad at myself.
A friend bought one of the cheap guitars off amazon as a starter piece, hated it and gave up. I bought it off him and the set up was HORRIBLE. 3rd fret on high e had the same note as the 6th fret. Fret height all over the place, string action 10 miles from the board, others like high e very close. No wonder my friend hated the thing. I offered to fix it, nope, get it gone. LOL Got some tools, set it up, tuned it and it's solid. It plays damn good. If I have a careless brainfart messing around, drop it, whatever, it's a $100 investment. I'm sure my neighbors are thrilled... I think a cat was crying the other day when I was messing around. :)
Love you tube with lessons for songs and exercises. Online metronome, big plus! It's a break from the rest of the BS going on and relaxing.
