The money, well, if you already have your college stuff cleared and prepared (assuming you're going to college, otherwise ignore me) I'd think you can either save it or use it for some traveling. But that's just me. In any case, I think it'd be better if you borrow a guitar from someone for a while to play around with it, see if you really like it, before jumping in and pay out the big cash. It's hard to find someone with a spare guitar though :/

If you haven't saved for college yet I believe that's where the money's best spent. Every dollar you bring into it means every dollar less debt darkening your bright post-college world-conquering future.
