Congrats on the beautiful new guitar!
TheCollyWolly:
If you're GASsing for a 335 and you get a chance at one, snap that shit up. I was lucky to find it before it was discontinued and put it on layaway. It's got such a full, open sound with crispy top end and a huge amount of control. Also, I'm not a fan of trems in general, but the big hunk of metal at the bridge really helps the balance (an issue that just kills SGs for me).

She was choosing between a Taylor 314ce and 414ce, and decided on the 414 because the "wood stuff is prettier". Then her mom bought her a $2000 first guitar and asked the sales guy about lessons.

Just think what an nice guitar that will be for someone when it comes on the second-hand market in a few months...
Yes, yes... I know... "Booyah! Elitist trap sprung!"
Radical AC:
Considering the price of many instruments parents get their kids (Pianos, cellos, ect) even a really nice guitar can be relatively inexpensive in comparison. That girl will probably get a Land Rover at 15, it happens. It just seems ridiculous to us because GAH I want that there is $32.08 in my checking account do you do payment plans
Kwaping:
While a $2k guitar might be a lot for a beginner, it is true that playing on a nice instrument is more enjoyable than playing on a crappy one. If that nice instrument inspires the girl to continue playing where a crappy one would have turned her off, what then? If someone can afford it, I say "why not". I am guessing that $2k is a fairly minor investment for that particular family.
You can be envious all you want (and I am!!), but you can't say they made a poor decision.
