Electric guitars are ideal if you have visions of playing in a band and busting out some rock n' roll. When purchasing an electric guitar you will have to keep in mind that you will also need to purchase some cables and an amplifier. These guitars have a smaller neck so reaching the strings is easier. An electric guitar is ideal for rock, heavy metal, or any type of music where you're looking to play riffs or achieve a distorted sound.

The look and style of a guitar is an important aspect to take into account. Chances are if you've been dreaming about playing the guitar you've already figured out some details that you want your guitar to have. There are many great brands of guitars, like Fender guitars, but when purchasing a guitar you will want to make sure that you take into account your finances. For you first guitar perhaps you don't want to buy a top of the line item. Instead perhaps you could look toward a more generic brand with some of the same features that you had originally been interested in.

The next decision that you must make is do you want to purchase your guitar from your local music store or would you rather buy a guitar online. Online music sales have become a booming industry, but how do you know what you're going to get? First and foremost you should check out some online reviews of the individual vendors that you are looking at purchasing from. Then look at the inventory that your online store has available. It is advisable to go to your local music store to look at the guitar that you're thinking of purchasing. That way you can see and touch it in person to make sure that it is really what you want to be buying. Probably the most important factor to most people when purchasing a guitar is the cost. So doing a price comparison between your local music store and some of the online shops can often lead you to finding the best deal.

So, once you find that dream guitar at the store, go home and try to find it online and see what kind of price difference and savings that you achieve. And remember, be patient and have fun! It is a great experience to play that first strum that actually sounds like music.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:can I convert my acoustic/electric guitar to a bass?
    I have an acoustic/electric guitar and I need a way to get a bass guitar sound. Is it possible to swap in acoustic bass strings, or something of the sort?

    • ANSWER:That will be almost impossible, physically, and it would never sound right due to the length proportions for a good bass sound.

      A better alternative, short of buying, renting, or borrowing a base, would be to simply get a synthesizer that lowers every tone two octaves.
      I have a Zune 8-track mini recording studio, and one of the synthesized sound options is "bass emulator." It just drops every tone by two octaves. You can probably purchase a foot pedal or something similar that does the same thing.

      If you're using a computer to record, there is a lot of software/hardware options that will help you do this too.

      Good luck.

  2. QUESTION:Can you use a bass amp for a acoustic/electric guitar?
    I'm thinking of buying a guitar. I already have a bass guitar and I use a Five Fifteen Ashdown Design Bass amp. Would I be able to play an electric/acoustic guitar on my bass amp?

    • ANSWER:you could but your sound would be fairly limited
  3. QUESTION:what is better to buy, acoustic guitar or electric bass guitar?
    Now I have electric 6-string guitar, and i am in doubt what is better acoustic guitar or bass guitar.

    • ANSWER:There are a few things to take into consideration when choosing to play an acoustic or electric guitar. Ultimately, the deciding factor should be which type of instrument you enjoy playing the most. If you buy an electric guitar because you want to have a nice painted finish to show off but don't play frequently because the neck feels uncomfortable, then you've likely made a poor choice.

      Here are a few points to consider when making your decision

      1. Ease of Play

      The electric guitar is considerable easier to play for a few reasons. First, the action (general setup of the guitar) is much easier. The strings are typically closer to the frets & easier to push down. Since the pickups & amplifier do most of the work on an electric guitar, the player isn't required to push down on the strings as much as they would on an acoustic. You can make minimal contact with the frets & still get a very clean sound.

      Since an acoustic guitar's sound is produced by vibrations from the wood top, heavier gauge strings are required (creating larger vibrations, resulting in more sound). Unfortunately, heavier gauge strings are harder to press down & bend to get a clean sound.

      Beyond the lack of pressure needed & lighter strings on an electric, the neck is much more thin & the body is smaller. The thin neck will allow you to get a good grip & wrap your hands around easier to get better finger positioning. The smaller body size will also allow a more comfortable posture. It is sometimes difficult to get comfortable when you have to reach around a large, edgy body.

      2. Sound

      Many people will tell you that the sound out of an acoustic is unmatched due to its natural vibrations & output. With an acoustic guitar, there is no loss of sound with pickups & electronic transfers. The drawback, as mentioned above, is that thicker strings, more pressure and harder picking is required to get a full / clean sound

      Other people will say that an electric guitar produces a much better sound because it takes advantage of modern electronics which can capture, enhance, and then amplify the sounds you're playing. Beyond the raw translation of the vibrations, you can add a symphony of effects with various effects pedals & other similar equipment.

      Each of these types of instruments certainly generate different sounds. We do not believe that one type is better than the other - it's mostly personal preference.

      3. Equipment & Convenience

      With an acoustic guitar, additional equipment is not mandatory. You can simply grab your guitar & start playing anywhere you want. You can take it camping or jam, to a friend's house or just play at home. This ease of playing is one major advantage of having an acoustic guitar. Not only is it easy to start playing, additional money is not required for the purchase of an amplifier or cables.

      An electric guitar may require power, an amplifier, pickups, and cables but these are all features that can be upgraded to improve your instrument. At any time you can purchase better pickups, a nicer bridge, or a more powerful amplifier. You also have the option of purchasing effects pedals & loop stations to add effects to your music. The upgrading ability of an electric guitar is certainly something to consider.

      Conclusion

      In the end the most important factor when purchasing a guitar is what suits you best. Do not purchase based on pitches from a music store's sales team. Most of the time they care a lot more about their commission than what guitar is best suited for you. You should head into your purchasing phase with a good understanding of how your instrument will be used. You may be leaning towards an acoustic guitar for its clean sound but what if you will likely be playing with friends in a local jam band? Is an acoustic going to produce enough sound? Your best bet is to check out your local music store, test out a handful of guitars & see which guitar feels the best to you.

      Good luck :)

  4. QUESTION:Good songs that have acoustic guitar, electric bass, and cello?
    Two of my friends and I need to come up with a song to perform.
    One of my friends plays acoustic and I believe electric guitar, the other plays electric (maybe acoustic also) bass, and I play cello.
    It's for school, and we would rather not write something.
    The song can have vocals, but it's not really what we're looking for.

    • ANSWER:Hmmm, this is a toughy.
      The only song I can think of that has cello and guitar is
      Build God, Then We'll Talk - Panic at the Disco.

  5. QUESTION:Can you use an Acoustic Bass Guitar Amp with a Non-Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar?

    I am trying to buy a amp for my band. I need to know if you can use an Acoustic Bass Guitar Amp with a Non-Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar. Please Answer, I need you comments.

    • ANSWER:Absolutely! Any amp that is designed for an upright (acoustic) Bass will work for an electric Bass, and vice-versa. It's all low-end right? Your amp settings will be a bit different, but that's it.
