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 Electric Guitar

Believe it or not Electric Guitars are somewhat easier to play, but as they have no real acoustic sound you'll have to buy a guitar amp, a guitar cable, and a guitar pick. Electric guitars have only 6 basic parts: a body, a neck, pickups, tuning keys, a bridge, and controls.

You tend to find that most electric guitars have a solid body although you can get electric acoustic guitars which are a hybrid between an acoustic and an electric guitar these guitars are quite versatile and have a more acoustic sound than a solid body one and still sound good with amplification.

Strings On The Electric Guitar

The strings used on an electric guitar are much lighter and a lot easier to hold down so you will find if you are a beginner on the guitar that you won’t have that initial problem that most beginners suffer from, sore fingers from the guitar strings, well maybe not quite as sore as the would be if you were using an acoustic guitar.

Sound And Amplification

Electric Guitars produce sound not because the instrument's vibration results in acoustic radiation, because remember most of them although not all them of course, have solid bodies, but because the vibration of the strings is converted to an electrical signal which is amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.

Electric Guitar Packages

I think if you are just starting out on the guitar then electric guitar packages are a great place to start because they give you everything you need, in fact I would say they are the all in one answer to getting started without breaking the bank plus you can be gaining a high quality instrument and accessories that will take you the distance for some time to come.

Now you’ll find electric guitars are used in various forms and styles of music all the way from pop to country, rock and roll, jazz or blues.

Conclusion

If you are looking for the Best Buy Electric Guitar then I have to say that electric guitars have become cheaper these days. Have a look at what’s available now on EBay, my favorite place that I always go to when I’m looking to find great bargains and cheap prices and let me know how you get on.

Happy guitar playing.
