Buying Your First Guitar
How much would you pay for a guitar?
When you buy your first guitar, you should know that they are sold for as little as $70. If you buy a used one, even cheaper. And there is practically no limit at the other end of the wallet. I spotted a Gibson J-250 the other day. $20.000 – a bargain! And the next day I saw a Martin D50 Koa Deluxe practically given away. The price tag: no more than $39.999!
So the decision is all yours. Whether you buy a cheap or expensive guitar doesn’r really matter in the end. A cheap guitar is as good as any to practice on. But I suggest that you leave the very cheapest guitar where they are, unless you are certain that it is good quality. The reason is that you want to get a guitar that stays in tune all over the neck. And that is a problem with a lot of the cheapest guitars.
So I think you need to spend about 250-300 bucks for a classical guitar. A steel-string a little more.
Steel-string acoustic guitar or a classical guitar?
Or…you maybe want an electric guitar? “Nooooo” cries the pundits. But again – the choice is yours. Of course, if you want to study classic guitar the choice is a nylon stringed guitar. But in most cases it is a question of taste. What sound do you like? Make your choice from that.
Nylon string have a smoother sound than the western guitars. They are also a bit nicer to your fingertips. On the other hand they have a neck which is wider than the steel-string guitar. Could be a small trouble if you have very small hands.
As I stated before, you can choose the electric guitar as you begin to play. People have a way of saying “Buy a real guitar” to start with.” But the electric guitar is very much a “real” guitar. Its strings are even easier to press down than the nylon strings. You will have to dig a little deeper into your treasure chest, though. The electric guitar doesn’t produce so much sound without an amplifier.
Conclusion
So it all comes down to this; As long as the guitar is of decent quality, buy the guitar you want to buy, based upon your likings, style…..and maybe your hands size.
