High-quality and inexpensive guitars are produced in Germany, Czech Republic and Korea. When choosing a guitar, you need to pay attention to the following points.
First advice. If you want to choose an acoustic guitar, if possible, do not go to the store with your fellow musicians. They will advise you to buy a guitar of your liking, which does not mean that your tastes will match. The only way they can help is to list technical gaps that an inexperienced musician may not notice.
Second advice. You shouldn't buy an acoustic guitar from a domestic manufacturer. Russian factories for the manufacture of guitars have not yet learned how to make them normally.
High-quality and inexpensive guitars are produced in Germany, Czech Republic and Korea. When choosing a guitar, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- If the neck is attached to the body, the distance between the fret and the string should be no more than four or five millimeters.
- The guitar should build well throughout the neck. You can only be convinced of this with the help of hearing, but the general tuning is not difficult to hear. For those who know how to use the harmonic trick, it is worth picking up a harmonic at the twelfth fret and comparing it with a standard sound played at the same twelfth fret. The sound must be tonally identical.
- You should take an acoustic guitar like a gun and use a drum as a stock - this will help you choose an acoustic guitar without waste. It is necessary to pay attention to the plane of the neck, as through the scope. The neck must be straight, no bending or twisting into a spin should be allowed.
- You should not take an acoustic guitar in which the neck is adjustable, if the quality of the wood from which the guitar is made is low, there is a possibility that the neck will constantly float. It is best to buy a guitar with a properly glued neck.
- When buying an inexpensive acoustic guitar, don't trust the manager's opinion. The first and main task of the seller is to sell more expensive goods. Or that product that has been in the warehouse for a long time.
- Pay particular attention to the thickness of the drum. The depth and volume of your guitar sound depends on the width of the drum, the wider the better. There are times when the sound of the guitar cannot be over-shouted, but this is rare.
If you have already found a guitar to your liking and appreciated its advantages, you need to choose a set of spare strings and a wide belt. You don't need to buy a very expensive strap for a cheap acoustic guitar.
