New Guitarist and new G&L Owner

Sat Dec 29, 2012 8:32 am

Hello everyone. So, some guys when they reach 50 buy a sports car or something like that. I have decided to learn the guitar. I started a couple of months ago and just bought my first guitar, a G&L Tribute Legacy. Learning has been difficult however I'm having the best time ever!! I can't wait until I'm proficient enough to start jamming with some of my friends. My profile picture shows my new axe. I'm looking forward to joining this cool community.

congrats, I did the same thing, at 50, walked into a music store, bought a cheap acoustic and have been taking lessons for about 5 years now. It felt better for me with a lefty guitar, so that's how I play.

6 months later and with a better acoustic, I ordered my first G&L, a blues boy.

Now have 7 guitars, so be careful, ha.

Good luck, you picked a great guitar to start with!

Welcome to the club!

I sold my first brand new guitar to get into college and shortly there after played a '92 Legacy- vowing to own one someday. My first G&L didn't come until 15 years later, when I decided to get back to playing, that was a WR Z-3 Tribute model. Since then, i have added a total of 4 G&L's to my stable. They are like potato chips, you can't have just one! Welcome Dave.

Thanks for the welcome Jag. I can easily see me owning an ASAT as well as my Legacy.

Welcome to the forum Dave. Hope you'll enjoy your time spent here.

And I wish you a lot of fun trying to learn the guitar, although I have full confidence it that. You're never too old to learn new 'tricks'. We're humans after all, not dogs ... ;)

Thanks for the welcome and the encouragement, Jos. That is an amazing collection of G&L's that you have.

Welcome, Dave! :wave:

Having a quality instrument as your first guitar will help in the learning process. I sure wish I had one when I started
many years ago. :lol:

Please do add your guitar to our G&L Registry.

If your guitar's easy to love, it's easy to play :D
Much better choice than a sports car, Harley, etc., good stuff!
