I am getting a Guitar for the first time

Dammit i Know that song but i can't think of the song name or who it's by. Wait it's the Who, Won't get fooled again. Alright hanks again guys, im pissed at my dad, I was suppost to get my guitar on Monday of last week that was my B-day but now im still waiten
ahh damn it

Apparently I will not recieve a guitar until I have straight A's, Oh Well.

Why not just get a job and earn the money yourself instead of jumping thru hoops for dad?

Or why not just get straight A's?

Because of American child labor laws its extremely hard for me to get a job at 15 and straight A's well I should have em, but I really fucked up.

Finally got a guitar, necks a bit out of shape and as a whole is a bit beat up but I got the thing for $20 with an amp. I have to get new strings, the ones on it were so rusty I couldn't even tune it. Besides the fact that any rust requires new strings. I think its a strat knock off, but it might have some fender parts on it, apparently it was custom built.

If the neck is too out of shape you may have just wasted your $20.00. Drop it by your local guitar shop and let the luthier take a look at it. He'll be able to let you know if it needs any work.

I agree on having it checked out. Heck I bought my first guitar 140$ brand new and it was terrible. The damn thing wouldn't stay tuned for more than 2 minutes. And I'm not talking about the amp my friend gave me for free. I think he just wanted to get rid of it frankly...I know you're just starting but it would make the learning thing a bit more fun if you actually had something playable. Just a thought.

I had a friend who plays bass look at it yesterday, I need to get the rod turned to straighten out the neck. Its a little bit bent which probably explains not being able to tune it. Should be able to fix it.

Muhwah it works.
Been playing for 3 weeks, have all basic chords down including 7 chords.
Can play Wish You Were Here solos and all.
Can transition my chords well.
Working on a Scale.

Any other advise with what to try guys.
