I met my brother over at Guitar Center. We saw a few guitar kits. The website seems to have more choices then what we had seen on the site. Some kits appeared to have the same guitars as others. We saw slight differences in the guitar itself, but the price tag between two kits was over 100 dollars. I assume that it had something to do with the amp included. The expensive one had drums and loops built in so you could play along. It reminded me of how a lot of keyboards have similar features to start up a tune with a beat while you can play along.
I didn’t buy anything, but I have a better idea of what I am going to get. Fender appears to be the popular brand with these kits with their strat. It’s a pretty popular model in general. The only real options between them appear to be more of the amp included in the kits rather than features on the guitars themselves. I saw one with an extra coil pickup, and another had the same number, but laid out differently. That appears to be the physical difference that I could see. I’m leaning towards a metallic blue body.
Lucas came with an interest in keyboards but started leaning towards getting a guitar at the end. He’s been getting an education on guitars from a friend of his in regards to model shapes, materials, quality, etc.
We looked around and found a few other nick-knacks. The two of us left without any new guitars, but we now have a few plans and a better idea of how much to budget for a guitar.
