Welcome, WackyT - I just got a right-handed version of that guitar - I love it for the price.

Hi All!
I got my first guitar yesterday, a Fullerton Standard Strat clone left-handed, and am really looking forward to finally learning guitar at the age of 41. Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself.
Welcome, WackyT - I just got a right-handed version of that guitar - I love it for the price.

I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

That'll get you started! We'll GAS you into a tube amp before too long, though!! We are collectively a very bad influence around here, financially speaking!

Hey Wacky! Welcome aboard the crazy train
I've been playing for almost 30 yrs, but focusing on guitar for only about 1-1/2 yrs (bass and strictly cowboy chords on an old acoustic before that). I still don't know half of what most of the guys in here know. But I'm determined, and the joy is in the journey, not the destination.
Oh, by the way: in the past year and 1/2 I've bought 4 guitars, selling one; three amps, sold one; a 1/3 stake in a PA rig and monitors; a modelling multi-fx pedal; an OD pedal; an EQ pedal; Bass OD and Bass Chorus pedals; a wireless system; numerous cables and cords; lots of guitar strings and pics; stands and misc. hardware. I'm probably missing some stuff here.
What I'm saying is: Beware the GAS!
