4 Steps To Finding A Great Guitar Within Your Means

Author : Larry Ford

A "good" and "cheap" guitar is hard to come by. Its the same old scenario. You either lose the "good" part of a guitar by buying a cheap one. Or you lose the "cheap" part by buying a good guitar.

Most people would like a good sounding guitar within their means. For a beginner it gets pretty complicated. So with that in mind, I going to give you some tips to finding a good guitar within your means.


Know Your Budget

Before you even think about going to the store, you need to know how much money you can spend. If your budget can only handle a $200 guitar. You should only be willing to spend $200 dollars.

Its also a good idea not to play a guitar that costs over your budget. This way you wont be lured into buying a guitar that costs more than you need to pay.


Bring A Guitar Player With You To The Music Store

If you have a friend that plays guitar, it never hurts to bring him/her with you. A good guitar player could tell you things that could save you time and money.

They could tell you if the guitar youre looking at is really worth the price. They could also tell you the quality name brands of instruments to look for. The list goes on and on. If they know the person that runs the store, they might could even get you a discount.

Ive gotten many discounts for myself as well as my students. But dont depend on your guitar friend to get you a discount on a guitar that priced over your budget. Its better to be willing to pay the price and be pleasantly suppressed if you do get one.


Pick As Many Guitars That Fit Your Budget

If your budget is $200, find all the guitars in the $200 price range. Then simply play every one of them. What you want to do is find the guitar thats comfortable to play while sounding well. You could get your guitar friend to help you with this.

You can play while he/she listens. Its very important that YOU do the picking though. Youre the one whos going to be playing it, not them. Its going to be your guitar after all. After you play a few guitars, youll start to hear the differences in sound between them.


Pick The Best One

Having played all the guitars that fit your budget, pick the one that sounds best while still being comfortable for you to play. Now, some of them will sound really good but may not comfortable to play. And others will be comfortable to play while not sounding very well.

This is where you have to find a middle ground between the sound and the ease of playing. Take as long as you need to come up with a decision. Youll be playing this guitar for a long time. So you want to pick a guitar that you wont regret buying later on.


With these tips, youll be prepared to buy a guitar that wont be a strain on your budget. You wont have to worry about paying too much for the guitar you pick. And youll be able to find a guitar that sounds good while still being
