I think i would like to learn to play the guitar

Out of interest, what are Fenders like these days (the ones that aren't worth £1000)?

Try before you buy and this has always been the case with Fenders.
Some would say you should do this with all guitars (true) but there are makes where you could just buy off the shelf but Fender isn't one of them.

Buy a guitar. You might want an amp too. Leave it at strategic places around your bedroom. Pick it up now and then. Make an effort to learn the chords 'C', 'A', 'E', 'G', 'D', 'Em', 'Am', 'Dm', move up to 'F' once you can handle barring, and learn the 12bar blues. Learn the minor scale. Learn how it can also act as the major scale, just with a different root note. Learn all about the other modes. Learn how to bend strings. Learn every Oasis song from the nineties. Learn 2 handed tapping, palm muting and pinched harmonics. Learn the majority of Master of Puppets, Surfing with the Alien, and the good bits off Passion and Warfare. 6 months before you're a guitar god. I swear. Something like that.

I chose not to learn guitar. I chose something else.
