RE: guitar - the frets look tarnished and the fretboard doesn't look well kept. Also playing guitars with tremolo lock nuts makes play 1st fret barre chords a little harder, also that guitar shape is terrible for playing sitting down, it slides all over your leg and makes positioning more difficult. I wouldn't buy a guitar these days without hearing it first hand ESPECIALLY an electric with older pots and pickups.
Do yourself a favour and go down to your local music shop and see what they have for $300 that you can try while you are there. There's a lot of really amazing guitars in the $400-$500 range right now and the Fenders that sell for $200 - $300 have very good action for a Chinese made guitar (better action than some of the guitars I paid two to three times more for in the early 90's). In many shops they have consignment and resell for trade-ins and I've seen some nice Epiphones and Fenders that would normally retail for $600+ on those racks for $300-$400 and best of all, you can try them for hours before making a decision.
RE: Firewall, router - with a machine that beefy I don't see running into many problems, unless you give the student cart blanche on the network, then they will run that connection into the ground. My only concern would be to make sure you can write logs to disk fast enough.

-gbut really, i just wanted to ask about my guitar....Sounds crazy but its an idea i'm considering... I'm thinking it would be neat to run ESX then install a pfsence firewall within. if not i'm just going to do bare metal pfsence install.I've done it before but only to protect other VMs which were hanging off a 10 megabit circuit. This is 100 megabits, with about 120 students.I wanted to ask if anyone is running a firewall within a VM and what your experience has been like. latency issues or otherwise.The ISP has assigned me a boat load of IPs.I recommended they buy a new server to act as the firewall/router. They did, which ended up being a Dell 420 with 32 gigs, E5-2420 6C @1.9 dual PSU unit.First off, I signed up for guitar lessons and am looking at a Randy Rhoads RX10D Jackson guitar, dude wants 300 bucks Canadian and it comes with a rectangle road case. Think thats a good price? (here is the ad: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Jackson-Randy-Rhoads-RX10D-W0QQAdIdZ516768866 )Recently they had a 100 meg optical circuit installed and will be moving from their old ISP to this new one.There is a residency here in town i help from time to time.
