First day

I called my teacher (Lee) to come to ochanomizu station. This place is famous for shops selling music instruments in tokyo area. once he came we directly went into second hand guitar shop which was near to the station.

Here is what my gyan from teacher that day.
-> acoustic is easier to play than classical.
-> once you learn classcial, you can learn other instruments easily. (jazz rock etc)
-> He said all the factory made instruments looks/sounds same to him.
For better quality go for a handmade guitar.(which starts from 3000$....)
-> we tested only 5 guitars with price range 60$, 80$, 100$, 250$, 350$ and teacher said 60,100 will do but will not sustain for long and he could not notice much difference between 60$ and 350$ in sound quality.

To be frank i was little disappointed with his explanation and decided to take the risk. so i picked up 100$ piece which is just sufficient for my practice over the next 6 months.

Flash: i had change the strings every one month for better performance.
Surprisingly, he did not mention anything about humidifier. i need to get more details about this.
