I will be using Rocksmith and Justin guitar to learn and am looking for any and all advice. I don’t have an amp yet but I’m sure that’s fine.

    Just to point out, while I think the reverse headstock (tuners on the bottom) is generally seen as an aesthetic thing, it does serve a purpose… it allows for a bit higher tension on those thicker strings so they’re not super floppy, especially if you want to use lighter gage strings or tune down substantially from standard (EADGBE). No issue if you do stay in standard, but it is a benefit if you tune lower.

        It’s also the “functional” purpose of multiscale (fanned fret) guitars, although I’m willing to believe most people who buy then do it for the looks or think it’s for ergonomics.
