My parents signed me up for classical guitar at the age of 11 and I hated it so never practised until the teacher begged my parents to make it stop. Then at 16 my buddies and I decided to form a band -- we all had roles but only the drummer and I ever got the gear and learned basic stuff. It fizzled out as so many of these things do. Then 20 years later I bought a Telecaster and taught myself some basic stuff; was part of a band for a couple of years but all we really did was rent practice space and make a racket while drinking beer.
All that's left of that period now is my Japanese Fender Esquire, which I just can't get rid of -- from the moment I first picked it up it was the most resonant, easy-to-play guitar I'd ever had and it's still fun to play my three chords on, maybe twice a year. It has a black scratchplate now, btw.

Definitely keep hold of that Esquire, @moonlite Japanese Fenders are always good quality and sought after, especially the older ones; even at only 20 years old it may be made from nicer wood than is used now. Probably never be worth a fortune but should keep its value.
A black pickguard will certainly look the part. What's the neck like?

Nice set up. I see you have a B pro one … nearly bought one of those earlier in the year. Also clocked a Korg sq1 there … fun little sequencer

Excellent -- hope the lessons go well. Have just been deep in a text conversation with my stepson who has decided he'd like to learn bass so he can jam with his drummer flatmate. I'm all for this kind of thing.1st guitar ever bought recently. 1st lesson next week. Guy in the music shop recommended this Telecaster Squier 'Made in Japan' over newer models at the same money.
