I find this really interesting, does everyone that fly fishes play the guitar? Music and fishing are my two passions. I have at least a dozen guitars, five basses, a couple of mandolins, a couple of banjos, and a bunch of other instruments. As for the comment that was made about a first guitar with nylon strings like 50lb test, well nylon string guitars do tend to be easier on the fingers than steel ones. I suppose the neck is wider on a classical guitar, making it difficult for small hands, but the strings are definitely softer, so I don't know if that's a good comparison to a cheap fly rod. I must say that the Chinese and Korean guitars are getting pretty decent, though they may need more work on their rod building skills.
