To buy an electric guitar takes a lot of effort and patience. The quality of a tool depends on many factors that need to be carefully examined.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what kind of electric guitar you need. When choosing a tool, special attention is paid to what kind of wood it is made of.
The sound of an electric guitar depends on the type of wood. For example, maple gives the instrument high highs and good attack, mahogany gives a sound with a clear perceptible lows, and ash has a sound similar to both maple and mahogany.
Step 2
Please note that the body must be made from a solid piece of wood. Sometimes it can consist of longitudinally glued pieces of mahogany and maple. In addition, it is important how many years producers have dried the wood. For example, in the USA it is twenty years, and in Japan it is two years. Faster drying will result in the instrument having a poorly focused sound.
Step 3
An equally important factor for you should be how you attach the strings to the body. For example, the Stop-and-Bar provides a static fixation of the strings, and the Floyd Rose machine allows you to tighten or loosen them.
Step 4
Decide which manufacturer's tool to buy. Great guitars are made in the USA, good ones in Japan and Korea. Of course, the cost will also depend on the quality.
Step 5
Choosing a good electric guitar is a big deal, so prepare yourself in advance. Ask your friends in detail or research music magazines to determine where to buy an electric guitar.
Step 6
Get a thorough inspection of your tool of choice in the shop, from the headstock to the rear harness holder. The electric guitar should be free from chips of varnish, rusty strings, as well as cracks and scratches.
Step 7
Listen carefully to the instrument, try to feel the neck. Play slowly to see if you like the sound of a particular electric guitar.
Step 8
If you are satisfied with the quality of the instrument, sound, exterior and price - make your choice.
Step 9
The quality and cost of the tool speaks of the professionalism of its owner. If you are a beginner musician, you should buy an inexpensive electric guitar.
