Cheap Electric Guitars
January 23rd, 2012
It is certainly possible to get a good quality guitar for under $200. Lots of people start out with a Fender Squier or an Encore. Many of the Epiphone guitars are near copies of the Les Paul models, which cost considerably more. It depends if you are looking to play rhythm or guitar solos. It’s important to remember that the sound is more important than the looks, no matter how great it would look on stage. Don’t always go for the very cheapest. You still want value for money and you need something decent to learn on. It doesn’t have to be a brand name though. Make sure the instrument feels comfortable and it’s the right size for you. Look to see what can be fixed. Pickups can be replaced but a damaged neck is a real problem.
One of the websites that offers a range of cheap electric guitars is www.getitall.net or you may want to go on an auction site. The Gigwam website accepts bids for guitars and there is a choice of approximately 1,000 at a time. The models include Stratocasts, Ibonez, Takoma, and Martins. It may be a long way off to superstardom and your own custom built guitar but buying a cheap electric guitar is the first step. Once you get started you may try to play any of the Greatest Guitar Solos.
