You guys' comments are being most helpful, and I sincerely appreciate it! I have a lot to learn about playing guitar, but everything to learn about the art and science of recording!

I don't think I misunderstood your post, Kev. It made perfect sense to me, IF I had already made the commitment to get into recording in the best ways I can. I should probably do that, but for now my focus is going to remain on performing, with recording in a distant second place. Still, your comments and those of others here have addressed exactly the kind of things I was wondering about. Your taking time to share your wisdom, opinions, and experience is most appreciated!
There's a local pawn shop with a pair of JBL LSR305s with an asking price of $160. Don't know if they'll let me try then out at home, or even in the store, but if so, those might be sufficient, at least as an introduction to get my feet wet. Won't consider them if I can't try them first, of course, but just maybe they'll work as "training wheels" to get me started. If so, perhaps my next step will be to consider a good general purpose, starter microphone. That will lead to room treatment, and perhaps something other than my BR-1600 (I also have an H4N that I've used for portable recording, and a 5-yr. old laptop...) So things could get expensive in a hurry if I'm not carefully frugal.
Just trying to take one thing at a time, and monitors seemed like a good place to start. Appreciate the help!
