On to an electric guitar

For the people that followed this thread:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/874500-inexpensive-beginner-acoustic-guitar.html

I decided that I wanted to play electric. I've been dinking around with the acoustic that I bought, and it was good. I injured a finger on my left hand recently, and I had a hard time fretting the acoustic. A few days ago it finally stopped bothering me to the point I couldn't play. I went to the local music shop to look at amplifiers, and ended up bringing this home:



It's a Gretsch G5435 Pro Jet. I don't know enough to say without a doubt, but of the guitars I played in my price range this was the best playing model. it doesn't hurt that I think it's sexy as hell to look at too!

I picked up a cheap Blackstar 10 Watt amp to mess around with for a while until I decide I need more amplifier.

Cool! I want a big hollow body Gretsch... but I need to learn a forth chord before I can get another guitar.

This one is a made in China, towards the bottom of their range model. I played most of the guitars they had in that price range ( I know 2 Social D songs and about 8 chords myself.) This was the nicest of the bunch and I like the way it sounded, and love the way it looks. The cheapo Blackstar amp has a few effects, so it was fun to play some 50's and 60's sounds.
