Before buying a guitar for a beginner you must go for the properly sized guitar with great sound. Also, check whether it matches up with the budding player's musical tastes and aspirations.
For beginners, the guitar must be easy to play and must stay in tune. You must notify the cosmetics, body style, electronics products and tone of the guitar. Often, a newbie can also have a favourite guitarist who inspires them to play. Take a look at out what guitars their heroes play and try to goal for something similar. Your budding country big name won't be very enthusiastic about the pointy guitar with skulls, however, they may likely fall in love with a classic.

If you don't have enough money to buy a new guitar, try for second-hand guitar. Buy one acoustic guitar ( best for beginners) and find some genuine guitar spare parts to repair if requires. Whilst buying for a beginner-especially younger gamers-you may be hesitant to spend an excessive amount of without knowing if the recipient will stay with the guitar. That's flawlessly affordable. There are guitars to fit pretty much each budget. Simply take into account that the better the guitar the brand new player starts with, the more likely they'll be to hold getting to know and playing.

2 CHEAP guitars that are AWESOME with GREAT reviews (I have them both and have been playing for over 30 yrs) :
- Squier Affinity Series Telecaster Special Electric Guitar (average $199) Solid playing and sounding guitar.

- Epiphone Les Paul Special I P90 Electric Guitar ($129) This has P90s in it! They sound SO GOOD.

I would replace either of these ASAP if one broke.

Looking to buy my first acoustic electric guitar, I'm looking at a Martin gpcpa-1 plus with vts or a Taylor 814ce DLX grand auditorium, which is the better guitar

David, you have excellent taste! Both guitars are excellent: Martin has had a reputation as a premier guitar line since 1833- almost 200 years! The Taylor guitar company started in 1974, and is currently (according to Wikipedia, quoting a USA Today article) the #1 guitar maker in America.

I can see why the choice is difficult- they are both Rosewood guitars with Sitka spruce top on a cutaway body, and they are both incredible players.

The Taylor is a little more expensive at $3,999 than the Martin $3,399.

It will come down to which you like better and what kind of music you play- if you record, ask a professional sound engineer which will sound better for your particular style. I happen to like the Taylor neck, but that's mostly because I play a 12- but I cannot see how you would be disappointed with either of these fine instruments.

How to Choose A Good Beginner Guitar

Many guitar beginners go for acoustic guitar as their 1st guitar. It not a bad idea to get started with acoustic guitar. Listed here are a few greatest acoustic guitar models you can take into account when you buy your 1st beginner guitar.
Being a Japanese electric corporation, Yamaha began to make all kinds of instruments include guitars and grew to be a brand-new star in the market . Their guitars targeted at all kinds of customers from learners to skilled musicians.An example of the quality affordable beginner acoustic guitars they supplied is Yamaha FG700S. This model has a solid spruce top and laminate sides and back with the good tone just cost you about 200 bucks. Most beginner's acoustic guitars usually have high action that is the gap between guitar strings and fretboard. The sound of this Yamaha guitar models is very excellent regardless of the high action of the factory setting.
Fender is a reputable electric guitar provider and provides consumer with its Fender type electric guitars. Fender acoustic guitar is not just as popular as its electric guitar. Yet the low end entry level line of Fender acoustic guitars are also the number 1 choice for some beginning learners. On most online shopping websites, you could find Fender acoustic guitar. One of the best entry level acoustic guitar model of Fender is the Starcaster acoustic guitar. It owns solid top and laminated back and sides, that is great for its price tag. In brief, Fender Starcaster is an inexpensive beginner guitar.
Alvarez is a guitar brand that is not as famous as other giant companies. The Regent series from Alvarez is affordable as well as built with premium quality. This model has solid top and Dreadnought size. The sound is deep and powerful. You might feel it is a more expensive model if you hear it the first time because the tone is quite distinctive and awesome. The price of Alvarez Regent is about TWO HUNDRED bucks which is very appealing and might be the greatest affordable solid top guitar model.
I will be really pleased if the information above could help you find the perfect entry level guitar model. To get more details on guitar models and brands for beginners, check out Beginner Guitar

ARE THE SX SJM-62 GUITARS ANY GOOD. IT HAS P90 PICKUPS

Here is one review:http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/2007-sx-sjm/may-08/35307 Whether they are any good is always a personal choice. Some things to consider are: Does it have good action? Does it stay in tune? Does it sound good through your amp? Can you adjust the parts( pickup height, bridge , neck etc.) Some people have been buying them and then modding them with better parts. They seem to be a reasonable bargain for the price. Notice the link I recommended was for a different model. Look on the net on some guitar forums to see what other players have to say. If you can, find someone who has one that will let you try it out. Here is a video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1CQWi8orqA Hope this helps.
