Impressive - I guess. To each his own.
I've never been a fan of frenzied guitar plucking...more of a fan of the smooth electric.
Something like Sandy Bull...known more for his banjo work.
Gospel Tune - finger-picking his Stratocaster on heavy reverb vibrato, & foot cymbal.
Plain & simple rhythm...from the early '60's.

I had an old '70s Yahama acoustic that was so hard to play I hated even picking it up.
I couldn't adjust the action down and the neck was enormous. Don't go dirt cheap, get something easy to play, even if the sound quality is not the best.

For the guys that responded but didn't read the whole thread, or for anyone who is curious now that the CL ad is down. Here's the guitar I bought. I paid $120 for it, the hard case, strap, new strings, and a handful of picks. It's a Korean made Charvel/Jackson 550CE.

For 120 bucks, I think you'll get several years of fun out of that one. Nice buy!

Considering the condition of that thing you got a good deal.

It's anywhere from 15-29 years old. They stopped making them in 2000 so not a lot of them around although that does not make it a collector or anything like that.

You paid used player condition price, that thing looks like it's barely been touched.

Hard to tell from the pics but it looks to have that Jackson neck profile, not as flat as the Ibanez Wizards, which I'm a big fan of, but flatter than average.

Flatter necks play "faster"
