The first guitar lesson happened last night. I overlooked care and feeding costs for the instrument itself. It will go off to the music shop for a tune-up before the next lesson.
Update, February 13:
It's a second-hand guitar. I picked it up stringless, from kijiji last summer. The neck is warped. Stringing it properly is a problem, but they've done the best they can with it. Eek.
Update, February 14:
One step back. It's more than just warped; it's cracked. New guitar and hard case: $475.
