Actually, you're in a better spot because you don't have a clue about what a guitar should be like :D. It's kinda like how it's easier for modern folks to handle a car with 300 horsepower and an eight-speed transmission than a single-horse carriage. *Sure, the comparison's a bit out there, but you get the gist. This guitar's just leaped over all the needs you didn't even know you had (think computers, recording software, effect processors, loopers, and so on) that would've caught up with you eventually. And it comes with all the bells and whistles, including accessories you'd have to buy separately otherwise. Imagine being able to stride not just a meter forward, like a regular human step, but ten meters at once. In other words, this guitar is from the future. And yes – mastering it is a piece of cake!
