Dem sexy/dream guitars

I thought he meant the epiphone standard? They're not 1200, are they?

I meant just maybe spend a little bit more for something that will last longer, so he'll be set even when he progresses. I mean, it's not a bad starter guitar - not at all - but I would personally say drop down a little more for a bit more longevity, but obviously it's all opinion and the only that really matters is Fantasy's. Plus that advise may just stem from when I used to give it to people I was trying to sell guitars to. So go for it if you want dude, you could do worse. For me, I don't see them as much more than starter guitars and something a little better quality might be more suited when you're more advanced, buuut, that's just me. Best thing you can do is play it yourself, but if you can't, it's still a solid choice.
