When you’ve made the decision to buy a guitar, it’s an exciting experience and a very personal thing so feel free to think outside the box. Don’t just buy the first guitar you see.

There is a check list of questions that you need to answer first, to set you on the right road to buying a guitar.

Playing guitar has been my favourite pastime since I was a teenager and I can tell you that’s a long time ago. It was my very first guitar teacher that gave me this advice and asked me these five questions when I asked him for advice on what type of guitar to buy. So listen up and learn from them. Here's the questions.

1. What type of music are you going to be playing on the guitar?

a) Blues- Advice is Electric Guitar.

b) Folk- Acoustic Guitar, Nylon or Steel String.

c) Country- Acoustic or Electric Guitar.

d) Jazz- Archtop Acoustic, Steel String Guitar.

e) Bluegrass- Lap Steel Guitar.

f) Classical- Classical Guitar.

g) Rock- Electric Guitar.

h) Metal- Electric Guitar.

2. What size of guitar-

They come in various shapes and sizes. A full size guitar scale length varies between 62.5cm and 64.5cm depending on the Brand maker. So for kids or smaller built person then probably 1/2 or 3/4 size guitar would be more comfortable. For adult or larger built person then full size, dreadnought or jumbo will be fine.

3. Where are you going to be playing-

At Home- Can be either steel string acoustic guitar or electric but remember with electric you’ll need an amplifier and everybody at home will hear you.
Outdoors/Camping- Inexpensive acoustic guitar.
Live Venues/Playing in a Band- Electric guitar or Acoustic Electric, you need to amplify the sound.

4. What price-

Always buy a guitar that’s the best quality you can afford. A guitar built with a good tone-wood will always give you a rich sound, retain its value and improve with age.

5. What Brand-

It’s best to stick to popular brands like Gibson, Fender, Yamaha, Epiphone, Ibanez, Martin, Washburn or Rickenbacker, if price and circumstances allow.

My favourite place to look when I want to buy a guitar is Ebay. I’ve always found a great selection of popular brands there and I can’t ever remember being disappointed with my purchase.

Ok, so let’s have a look at what guitars are on offer on Ebay that would tick all the boxes to our five questions on buying a guitar.

Best Buy Bass Guitar?

Best Buy Bass Guitar

Bass Guitars were invented to replace the larger double bass instruments. Electric bass guitars create a stunning sound that adds a punch to any kind of music including rock, blues, jazz, country, and heavy metal.

They are a bit less impressive as an instrument from a size point of view than the traditional double basses but nevertheless they can be very flexible. They have a longer neck than a standard guitar and are tuned an octave lower in pitch and are normally plucked with the fingers and thumb, although some bass guitarist prefers to use a pick.

Bass Guitars are traditionally 4 string instruments but you can also get 5 string, 6 and 8 and even 12 string models. But I think if you are a beginner you should stick to the 4 string bass. These four strings are tuned to G, D, A and E.

If you are setting out to buy a bass guitar try and get one within your price range of course, made from a good quality wood such as maple, ash, walnut or mahogany. For comfort it’s generally recommended that a bass guitar with an 86.3cm (34inch) scale is the best choice.

Now Bass Guitars come either with the fingerboard fretted or fretless. With a fretted fingerboard you’ll have metal frets marking each half step which of course makes it much easier to play and to tune. However on the fretless fingerboard which tends to create a sound or a tone which is a bit closer to that of an acoustic bass, you will find it a bit harder to tune and to play and get an accurate tone.

You will find a good selection of quality bass guitars and probably a Best Buy Bass Guitar on the site here at eBay. Look out for bass guitars made by companies such as Fender, Gibson, Yamaha, Peavey, Ibanez and Rickenbacker. These are all quality bass guitar manufacturers.

Happy guitar playing.
