How to make your parents believe you need a new guitar

Question

I've been play guitar for about 6 months and now i'm starting to learn a song a day and i'm getting somewhat good. I have a fender starcaster (yes it is a real guitar fender only sells them to cosco and best buy, big stores like that. Its a cheap beginner guitar. Look it up if you want more info) I thinking of buying my friends epiphone les paul custom for $250-$300.

Should i beg my parents to help me buy it(if you say yes to that then how am i suppose to present it to my parents), should i get better first. or something else

WHAT SHOULD I DO

Thank you soooo much

Answer 1

I would suggest getting a job, saving your own money and buying it yourself. Even if it's just a paper-route or something small.

My parents bought me my first guitar for my birthday. I still have it but don't play it as much. The first guitar that I bought myself, I still play and am more attached to it.

Do yourself a favour, buy it yourself.

Answer 2

get a job or use allowance money if nothing is wrong with the one you got then there is really no need to get another one

Answer 3

Either (1) wait for a birthday or Christmas, or (2) beg your grandparents.
