When you are taking up the guitar for the first time, it can be difficult to decide which guitar will work best for you. You might be undecided on what it is that you are looking for in a guitar and this will make your choice even more difficult when standing in front of a collection of beauties but not being able to decide which one to own. At Music Experience music store in Cape Town, and on our online website, we have a large selection of guitars to choose from and once you have read our guide to choosing a guitar you will be better able to pick the right one for you.
Should you choose an electric or an acoustic guitar?
While the amazing sounds which come from an electric guitar may make you want to buy an electric guitar, when starting off it is good to keep in mind that the sounds you are hearing not only come from the electric guitar, but also from the talented hands playing the guitar. Playing well comes with lots of practice and sadly not everyone will pick up an electric guitar and immediately play mind blowing music. An electric guitar will also need a good quality amp to help it to pump out those great tunes and a good amp can be pricey.
When just starting out with this instrument it might not be the best idea to spend lots of money. So get back to basics and buy an acoustic guitar. This will help you get the feel of the instrument while at the same time you are not breaking the bank. However do not buy the cheapest acoustic guitar you can find as this could mean you are buying a cheap quality guitar that will ruin your guitar experience.
