Well, I rescind my comment, then. I started on a crappy guitar with god-awful action and thick strings. What works for me may not work for others. I was just thinking in terms of getting that early build of your finger muscles on a cheapy guitar so you could rock out on an expensive one.

Maybe I'm just crazy then
