Well, the more you understand, the more you learn, the more you search for that guitar...
I once was happy with my guitar and didn't know difference in tone, pup selection, type of pickups, etc. dati as long as it's a guitar and i could play on it, I was happy...
after philmusic, it all went downhill hahaha GAS GAS GAS na...
but seriously, RJ guitars are good guitars. ok yan bro. If your budget allows for something better, then go for it and choose wisely.
Tama sila, just look at your priorities. If one favors airsoft more, that's his passion and there's nothing wrong with that kahit pa bumili sya ng 100k worth na baril as long as happy diba? Same with your decision to get a guitar. will you be happy once you find your tone?
I recently just ordered a guitar. I could've spent my money on a macbook, or bigtime car upgrades, or a new phone, or shopping spree... but there's just something about the guitar that lures me into getting one regardless of the price tag on it... It was time for me to buy one not because I needed one that's branded or whatever. I was just after that tone and at the same time, the great feeling of owning my dream guitar diba?
things to ponder on lang. good luck!
