This whole process is not as hard as people make it out to be – even the dudes in the shops trying to complicate it and sell you something more expensive than you really need. Your first electric guitar really need not be great, just good. The first thing most people seek when buying a guitar are shape and color – do not feel bad, just know that not everyone's on a sexy Lookin 'guitar. Chances are when you play you want to replace your first guitar with a new, better one anyway … usually within a year or a little over a year people will grab a new one.
The first point I really want to 'drill home is that it need not be expensive, expensive is not always better. But in case your first electric guitar, It really does not need to be expensive. $ 200 – $ 300 USD tops. The reason you should not start any more expensive is that you can not guarantee that you will keep with it. If you choose to end a game you at least get a nice chunk of that cash back when you sell it.
You can say "oh I'm going to stick with it, guitars are awesome !"… that's all fine and good, but the fact is not everyone is meant to be a musician. I'm not negative, I will be real. The good news is when you make it past about 6 months to play, you have overtaken "honeymoon phase" … when you do that there is a pretty good chance you will never give up.
Okay, so with everything good things out of the way there are literally only three things you need to look for when choosing a guitar … First, I have already mentioned; price. The next thing to look for is the pickup configuration.
The choice of pickup configuration will depend on the style of music you want to play, really. I think I will explain what a pickup config first, right? My bad. The two most common types of pickups are single coils and humbuckers. Single coils are what you normally find in a Fender Start (among many other guitars) – the pickup is a small coil. If you still have no idea what I'm talking about, go Google the phrase "single coil" at using their super-fancy image search.
Humbuckers are essentially two single beds coils side by side – sometimes they will have a case overtop of them. You must usually find humbuckers in a Gibson Les Paul (among many other guitars).
So how can you know what to get? Look at the guitars of players you like and get what they got … it is usually the easiest way. The reality is that you can play all kinds of music on any pickup – some just sound better than others. Then again, what "sounds good" all depends on the person. The one thing that remains a fact is that single-hulled broadband sound thinner than humbuckers – naturally self right? I think a humbucker is two single beds broadband … sort of no-brainer. You can also shared some humbuckers with what we cal a coil tap switch … blah, another article for another day.
Once you know the price range and you know what kind of pickups you want, what is the third thing? Why the tremolo or bridge!
Tremolo or bridge is fancy little contraption at the end of the body of the guitar. The things the strings passing through or into. So how can you know has tremolo and is a bridge? Well a tremolo want a "whammy bar "… I hate that terminology, but most people identify with it better. The correct name is" tremolo bar "or" tremolo arm. " There are several types of tremolo.
A type of tremolo is Floyd Rose, easily the best in my opinion. With a Floyd, you can both raise and lower the pitch. This is ideal for people who want to make divebombs like it no bodies business or rip out squeels as "Dimebag" Darrell. It is their awesome design and nut, tuning Stability is pretty good.
Another type of tremolo is usually called "vintage" tremolo. With this, there is no lock nut and you can only lower the pitch with a bar, not raise it. You can find these on most of the Fender Stratocaster.
There are also a few others like Bigsby but I doubt you will find that there on a budget model guitar. Oh, and there are some tremolo similar to the Floyd Rose in design, as Ibanez's Edge III, etc.
Now, a fixed bridge is exactly it – fast. There is no tremolo bar, just fingers and strings. You can find these on most of Gibson Les Paul's, although I think they've had some limited running with Floyd Rose tremolo.
So how can you know what to get? Again, look at your favorite guitar players, they use a tremolo? If you do not know the sound of a divebomb or pull up, go listen to some Van Halen and Pantera. For an example of a divebomb, listen to "Eruption" by Van Halen. For an example of a pull up, go listen to "Cemetery Gates" by Pantera, is the very end of the anthem filled with them.
There you have it, you're ready to buy your first electric Guitar!
