Cheap Electric GuitarsBy Henry Genry
If you are looking for cheap electric guitars there is a lot of
choice out there. You can buy a cheap electric guitar from as
little as £70 and there are a number of brands making cheap
guitars.
Don't spend under £90 on a guitar
If you are buying your first electric guitar, I wouldn't
recommend spending under £90. Most of these guitars are built
with very cheap materials to bring the production costs down,
hence the retail price. The guitar's sound will be compromised
with this lower quality and the finish will also look a bit
rough. You will usually find that the guitar strings are the
cheapest ones you can buy, they will sound twangy.
The other downside of these cheap electric guitars due to the
low build quality is the durability. You will be lucky if you
can play it for more than 1 year and not have a problem with the
guitar parts. You will end up with a cheap electric guitar
(cheap meaning the quality this time and not the price).
Spend £90-£150 on a guitar
My advice is to spend between £90 and £150 on your first
electric guitar. You will get some reasonable quality at the
lower end and good quality at the upper end.
Electric guitar brands to look out for
Here is a list of guitar brands that offer beginner electric
guitars within the above price range: Stagg, Crafter, Vintage,
Encore, Cruiser by Crafter, Gould, Squier, Yamaha, Dean, Peavey,
Epiphone, Carlsbro and Ibanez.
The Epiphone, Vintage and Yamaha are the most popular electric
guitars from the above list, the Stagg offers the best value for
money in my opinion.
Should I Buy My Guitar in a Music Shop or Online?
It is really up to you, but my advice would be to buy one of the
recommended guitar brands above. You can do this easily online,
and you won't get a shop salesman trying to push what's best for
them rather than what's best for you. Follow this link for a
