There are hundreds of options when buying a new guitar, but not all are good. I'm sorry all you people out there looking for bargains, but you get what you pay for. You will not find a guitar that a professional would dream to have for $ 100 on your local guitar center, just not how markets work.
If you are a beginner with a normal wallet, you should buy an average price of guitar. Do not know if you say "shit!" After a few weeks or months, so it's best not to put too much of a dent in your wallet for something that just gathering dust in the closet. I'm not telling you to buy a cheap one, because if the guitar is an absolute shit, it's much more likely to quit because you're not getting that sound / gameplay should be. Also, cheap guitars lose their resale value quite as you pay for it, but over medium-high guitars, with prices do not. Some may even grow in value over the years.
If you are planning to have an electric as your first guitar, I highly discourage you from doing so. Guess what you need with an electric? An amplifier. A good will cost a fortune. A poor will sound rubbish, which can lead to resign. So what's the solution? Learn about acoustics. That's right folks, you heard right, learn on an acoustic. Acoustics are usually more difficult to play than the electrical system (yes, that is a good thing WRITING!). Your fingers will hurt, but that's a sign of building the muscles of the fingers that any guitarist should have. The muscles of the fingers are harder to obtain when learning in an electric, because they are easier to you. If you learn on an acoustic, his first words when playing an electric will be "Holy crap! This is easier than I thought! ". . . perhaps not much enthusiasm, but hopefully get the point. Now, I know that some reading this that are completely dedicated to achieving power as the first. I would remind you that virtually all forms of music use the acoustic guitar in them. Yes, that includes rock.
Another benefit of acoustic guitars is its portability. You can take the acoustic guitar anywhere you want, and needs no power source. . . or charging with an amp with a wiring harness. An acoustic guitar is an all-in-a learning machine, while the electric is a semi-complex.
Now, if you unfortunately have a habit of leaving as soon as it is established that "you can not do," then you may want to learn in a electricity.
Acoustic Guitars – Acoustic guitars, besides being a better choice for learning, are easier to choose from that there are so many options. With electric, you can change things radically change the sound. Also, if you try the amp sounds terrible, terrible guitar sounds good with it. . . which leads to an incorrect decision.
Size Acoustic Guitar – There are many sizes of acoustic guitars. How does the size of the sound is very simple: more guitars have more bass (they sound more profound).
Steel string classical front – Two main categories there are acoustic guitars: steel string and classical. Steel string guitars have steel strings, classical guitars have nylon strings. Both make different tones, you have to hear for yourself in a guitar shop. The classical guitar necks, are generally larger, too – which should affect your choice if you have small hands.
Acoustic Guitar Construction – One of the first things to look at common sense, structural integrity. If the guitar seems to be far apart as soon as you drop it (eventually), do not buy it. In guitars, it's better safe than sorry. Cheaper guitars have plywood (AKA laminate) back / sides / tops. Most of the sound of an acoustic guitar comes from the top, so it is best to get a plywood guitar, at least, a solid (does not sound as good). The more expensive the guitar, the wood is stronger than in general terms. If you have a deep wallet, go ahead and buy an acoustic guitar with all solid wood.
Make sure the neck is straight looking down from the head.
Then, make sure the guitar is tuned (if you do not know how, ask a salesperson … That will help, they want you to buy their guitars). Strum a few times, and even the untrained ear should be obvious that if you have a good tone to it. Be careful with this however, strumming a guitar and say that you're buying, because you happen to like. This should be compared to all other guitars in all price ranges, so you get a good idea of where that lies between them.
What is it? – Now, decide what the hell you gonna do with the guitar. Are you going to record with him? Play live with it? Or just sit on your porch and play songs with your friends? For recording, it is best to get a guitar with a bright tone (sharp) and the guitars sound very off Bassy through a microphone. To play on stage, you want to check that the guitar is well made. A guitar that is played live often takes a beating, so you do not want to snap in half in the middle of a show. To play just for fun, is very much about you: what looks best for your ears?
Hey, guess what? You (hopefully) bought a guitar that will become one of his closest friends through the years. Do not forget to name it!
