So when you buy an electric guitar, you can go several routes. You can go through the
internet, you can go to one of the chain stores that are all across the USA, there's a couple
of them, and then you can go to your local music store, right. They all have their benefits.
You know, the internet is probably the cheapest way to to go.
You're going to need a cable, right, a guitar cable and this is going to plug into your
amplifier and that's very important. You need an amplifier if you buy an electric guitar.
So, there's more cost with the electric guitar. You're going to need the amplifier, you need
the cable, maybe a strap, the case. There's a lot involved in that. So, what I really
like are these kits that they make. They have all that included. The kits that I've seen
on the internet and at these stores are $200 or $300 and you're on your way to playing.
So there's two big names in guitar, right there's Fender, that's what this is, a Fender,
and then there's Gibson. There's more, but this is a broad spectrum right here, Fender
and Gibson. So they are very expensive guitars, right, made for the professional guitarist.
They can run $1000 and up, right, but they have lower line models that you could buy.
So for instance, Fender, they happen to be made in the USA, but their lower lines, right,
are they have a guitar that's made in Mexico, that is very affordable brand new: $200, $300
range. Gibson has a company called Epiphone that is their subsidiary, right, and same
concept. They're made somewhere else, they're not made in the USA, but they're very good
guitars, in fact Epiphone, I think, is in fact the most popular brand there is for brand
new guitars and they have similar price ranges. You know, $200, $300, $400 for a beautiful
guitar. It'll last for a while, you'll play it, you'll get to know what you like about
the guitar, what you don't like about the guitar and then your next purchase, right,
that you might spend $500, $600 on, you'll know exactly what you want.
Electric Vs Acoustic
So when I am here holding an electric guitar this has no acoustic valves or whatsoever
right so what does that mean. That means that unless I plug it into an amplifier it makes
no sound. So if are going to buy an electric guitar you are going to need to buy an amplifier
right You need to buy a cable lot of accessories you got to have lot of accessories. But in
acoustic guitar with the size about that is it just plays. You don't need anything. When
I was a kid, the adage was you have to learn on a horrible acoustic guitar that is hard
to play and it strengthens your muscles. You don't need any of that. If your electric guitar
keeps you practicing you should get a lecture guitar. If its an acoustic guitar, you want
to sing, play and strum, that is the guitar you should get
What makes a guitar more expensive?
The quality of the parts, the woods that they use, all these little parts of the guitar
are made up of high quality and that is going to make it expensive. On a cheaper guitar
they are going to use plastic instead of other materials. They are going to use cheaper woods.
A very expensive electric guitar like this might be of $1000 and then in the nylon strings
that the guitar that i really like to use they are hand made instruments and it takes
several months to be made and they can cost 5 to 6000 dollars. But I think you should
may be spend fine to use the guitars for 100 dollars 200 dollar brand new guitar, they
can all work.
