P.S. forgot to say in my post that I write left handed, that’s why I took the assessment.
thanks again,

Hi everyone,
I’m just looking at starting out on electric guitar. I can’t get much advice from music stores (due to COVID) so I’m hoping someone on the forum might be able to help.
1) I have been looking at the Yamaha 212VQM as a starter guitar (seems to get good reviews, has good looks and it’s in my budget range) but I’m not sure if I should go LH or RH. Online assessments seem to show me as roughly 50% LH and 50% RH. Any views on which one to buy bearing in mind that I don’t have the option of trying both in a store at the moment ?
2) Where I live, using an amp in the house wouldn’t be an option. Even a practice amp might be too obtrusive. Any suggestions of ways of being able to practise/play silently or quietly would be appreciated. Obviously I don’t want to spend money on kit where I would be disappointed with the sound quality as this wouldn’t encourage me to stick with the practicing.
Many thanks,
Stay safe
Jon

Hi guys,
Many thanks for your thoughts and replies. Some good food for thought there. I might hold off final decisions until the music shops re open (hopefully not too much longer now) so that I can at least handle some right and left hand guitars.
thanks again,
Jon
