Hey Timmit,
Welcome aboard!
The only reason I'm replying to this is that while reading your post, I felt like I was reading my own story! It's amazing.
I'm 21 (close enough). Been playing classical for a while too. I too started getting into improv/jazz and other music. I'm also studying computer engineering (very similar to elec) and play keyboards on my spare time. I too taught myself the guitar recently and I was really looking into the fantom X8. To add to that, I too am starting to experiment with synths!
I guess most of us music folk have a similar story, but yours is one what was surprisingly similar to mine, so I figured I'd share.
There are tons of great folk around here, hope you stay long for the ride.
Regards,
