Just bought my FIRST guitar! :-)

Yeah... it does feel good just to hold it...and play little songs like "yankee doodle" :) Where would I get one of those videos, on the 'net somewhere?

Well, I might keep the amp then; after fiddling with the knobs a lot like you said, that static sounding noise when I turn them has really gone down!

jedman,
on most of the decent, not-often-used amps i've played with, that oxidation scratchy stuff exists, but it always settles down, and it can be cleaned if turning the knobs doesn't fix it. if you like the sound, KEEP IT!

Glad you said "first"...................because you will have more.....it's a rule........:D........................those things are addictive the more you learn about them.......

Seriously, though, an el cheapo acoustic will be a more effective way to appreciate the nuance of guitar than an electric......I think the Takamine Jasmine is less than a benjamin, at lotsa places off line or on.....ok, may one dollar less than a benjamin.....but still, it's a dreadnaught, has some style, and you can do cool things with it.....(disclaimer, I don't have one, I just saw an ad for one....my cheapest acoustic is a really low level Washburn which has about the same specs as the Jasmine.....I keep it in my kitchen and play it every morning....it's a freaking workhorse and if my cats scratch it, no big deal.....).....

An inexpensive acoustic will most seriously assist you in knowing how yer electric can sound........

Grats on yer new ax and play on!..........................gibs
 
Jedman,

Happy for you!
Work hard at playing that beautiful instrument and it will give you hours of enjoyment.

Just remember if/when you switch to acoustic, the strings may seem more difficult to press down on. That's because they are.
I started with the acoustic first and now when I play an electric I bend the strings a bit too much till I get used to the fact that it doesn't take all that effort.

Best of luck to you
