Another old guy beginning guitar...

[catseye]

In my late 60's...geez that sounds awful. I'm a horn player, but I'm looking for another source of mental stimulation as I sense my motorcycle passion coming to a close. I like to tinker, so futzin' with guitars seems right up my alley. So far I've purchased a MIM Strat, a MIM Standard Tele, and most recently an Epi LP Special II. The LP was at a really stupid low price, and from the description, I was expecting a real dumpster fire.
What I found was a pretty straight piece that only needed strings, slight adjustment, and a good cleaning. It plays great, and I like the way it feels in these novice hands. Now for some pics, MC pic is just because it's a beast:

Pretty LP Special and finding it at a bargain in 2023 is a win in and of itself. Looks in brand new condition. Probably someone's white flag of surrender for rarely/never used. Set up properly and it's a first reach or session ending play every time. I have a 2005 Squier Bullet SSS HT that usually has that honor because it took a little more effort to make even more playable than when it was passed on to me.

Welcome! Nice lineup.

Welcome aboard!
Nice guitars, I like the look of that Tele.
I too am in my 60s and only picked up guitar again about 2 years ago.
I'm having a blast with it but it seems to take much longer to learn things than it did in my 20s.
Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome!!! Nice collection you got building up there. At first I almost thought I was looking at an older photo from @Paruwi's collection
