Thinking of Taking up Guitar - Any tips ?

Yamahas are good in that sense. I've owned a few models over the years, and the "trickle down" from higher-end models seems to be very quick

It probably helps that they also make real pianos. I used to have a Yamaha amp, again cheap but nice, good trem and spring reverb. Wish I still had it.

Someone once told me that the reason Yamaha make good instruments as well as motorbikes is that they use the same airflow modelling for both but I'm skeptical as to how true that is.

Talking about Yahama and Modelling - Here's my little THR 5 Modelling Amp, which (still slightly on topic) is a guitar amp, although I use it for harmonica.

Oh yeah I've seen those. They look fun, with their little pretend valve glow.

Blimey, must take some lungs to blow through that.
