Tips for Purchasing Your First Guitar

Learning to play guitar can be a fun and exciting process. When you first begin to play, you may be dreaming about someday owning your own, high quality instrument to play on at home or anywhere you like. Whether it’s an Epiphone, Gibson or Turner model 1 guitar, here are some tips to help choose the best one for you.

Electric or Acoustic?

One of the biggest decisions you will have to make when it comes to purchasing your first guitar is whether you want to play an electric model or an acoustic one. There are many differences to these two types of guitars, but the main difference is that an electric guitar won’t make much sound without other equipment such as an amplifier while an acoustic can play with enough volume that it doesn’t always need this enhancement. However, you can purchase acoustic guitars with electric pickups so that you can have the best of both whenever you want to plug your guitar in.

Size and Features

The size of the guitar is important to think about, especially for beginners with smaller hands or for children learning to play. You may have to upgrade later, but a student guitar can be the perfect first step and is a smaller model.

You will also want to consider the features each model has. Some have different pickups, sound profiles and additional functions. If you want to buy one guitar that will last a lifetime, you will want to consider what features you will want both now and in the future.

Style

While the style of your guitar may not be the most important when it comes to function, it can be a confidence boost when you look in the mirror and see yourself playing. The style of the guitar can include the body shape, color, and type of wood it is made from. With high-end guitars, these options can be customized at any time.
