Tips and Recommendations on Selecting Your First Guitar
Many sons and daughters are asking for electric guitars as gifts for Christmas, birthdays or just becausesimply because they have become engrossed with learing to play. What I wish to do in this article is produce some suggestions and recommendations for deciding on that first guitar.
Let’s face it, buying a guitar can turn out to be a tiresome and time consuming process, and this is particularly true for beginner electric guitars. Don’t be overwhelmedWhat can make one guitar distinct from another? Is a guitar which costs $3000 better than one which is $500 or $100? Of course it is, but a far more basic question to be asked is whether or not a newbie needs a top-of-the-line guitar.
Each aspiring electric guitar player fantisizes about playing a classic Fender Stratocaster or Gibson Les Paul. Nevertheless, if the guitarist is a newbie just starting out I don’t advocate spendinga lot more than $500. It is a good strategy to first ascertain if the interest advances and the talent is present before investing a largevast sum of cash on a guitar like theguitars played by the legends.
All of the guitars outlined below are priced less than $400 and one can find reduced prices at The Best Guitar Shop at http://www.best-guitar-shop.com
The most commonly acknowledged method of picking a low priced electric guitar is to find an instrument with good quality wood, and at least reasonable workmanship. Guitar producers have a tendency to cut corners with less costly guitars, by using less costly pick-ups, and hardware, but these are all upgradeable parts. The following guitars are some of the better low price electric guitars obtainable.
The guitars below were selected by Dan Cross at About.com, a experienced and respected professional on guitars.
Squier Fat Stratocaster
This is one of a number of Squier models obtainable which supplys a rather good product for a reasonably low price. The pick-ups and hardware are occasionally suspect, and the workmanship deviates from instrument to instrument, but for the price, these are a quite good newbie guitar choice. The look of the instrument is appealling. Squier Fat Strats are comparable in appearance to the significantly more expensive Fender Stratocasters.
Epiphone G-310 SG
Modeled after the significantly more costly Gibson SG guitars, the Epiphone SG G310 keeps it's price low by using less costly hardware and lower quality humbucking pick-ups. The G-310 features an alder body, a mahogany neck, and a dot-inlayed rosewood fingerboard. The buzz on this guitar is it's a quite good value for the cash.
Yamaha PAC012DLX Pacifica Series HSS Deluxe
This Pacifica features an agathis body, maple neck, and rosewood fretboard, with two single coil pick-ups, and one humbucker. The consensus is the guitar is reasonably well made, and the quality of the wood tends to be high. Those who go on to turn out to be serious guitarists may possibly want to look at upgrading the electronics of the Pacifica HSS.
Squier Affinity Series Telecaster
Guitarists like Keith Richards, Steve Cropper, Albert Lee, and Danny Gatton favor the look and acoustics of the Telecaster. If you're a fan of any of those guitarists, this beginner guitar may be for you. The Affinity Telecaster comes equipped with an alder body, with a maple neck and fretboard.
Epiphone Les Paul Special
The Les Paul is possibly the most famous guitar in rock and roll. Epiphone has accomplished a good job of visually re-creating the Les Paul in this lower-cost guitar marketed towards beginners. The Special II comes equipped with a laminated alder/maple body, a magogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and two open-coil humbucking pick-ups.
All of these beginner guitars and hundreds of others can be purchased at significantly reduced prices from the Best Guitar Shop at http://www.best-guitar-shop.com.
