electric guitars?

Question

where can i buy a full size nice electric guitar........ but it needs to be like 40 to 60 pounds

Answer 1

Seriously if thats all you're willing to pay, don't expect a good one. For that price you're looking at a fat, slow playing neck with an uncomfortable action and terrible pickups.

You could get something like a high quality Yamaha or an Ibanez for around £100-300. If you want it cheap then I would recommend Yamaha, their guitars are cheap but the built quality is very good as are the electronics. You will enjoy playing and it will last a lot longer than most other budget guitars.

If there is a branch called 'Music Box' somewhere near you then they should have something like this, just be careful that you don't get ripped off. A lot of these big stores like to charge through the roof for shoddy gear.

An alternative would be to go to a small, independant retailer. Their prices are often very low and they are usually a lot more honest than the bigger stores. They will also be willing to give you a lot of information and sometimes even do small maintenance and repairs on your guitar for free.

Buying online is hazardous, especially e-bay. A lot of guitar buyers get ripped off on e-bay. Also you want to be able to try before you buy. This is crucial in buying a guitar.

If you go to a shop near you, make sure you can try out the guitars, try a range of them to see what styles and features suit you. Also if you don't know much about guitars ask them about the different kinds of-
Neck joints.
Pickups.
Tone woods.
Pickups.
Bridges.
Only by learning about these different things and trying them out for yourself will you be able to make an informed choice and buy the guitar that's right for you.

Another thing to consider is amplification. If it's going to be in your house you probably don't want to get more than 50 watts. Make sure it has a clean channel and an overdrive/distortion channel. A good amp to get would be a Line 6 Spider II, they are VERY cheap, very high quality, have an extensive range of tones plaus built in effects. Again make sure you can try them out preferably with the guitar you plan to buy.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

not gonna be easy brother-ebays always good but the disadvantage with that is you aint gonna play it first are you?id be very surprised if you get one thats any good at all for that price range but if you can id save an extra 60 quid and go for something like a fender squire or similar-you should get a good swecond hand one in a music shop for about 120 quid and the difference you will find between that and some rubbish youd get for 60 quid will be amazing-few tips if you are new to all of this-look at the action-the distance between strings and fretboard-closer the strings-better the guitar usually-make sure you plug it in and listen for any crackling noises as you adjust the volume and tone controls-too crackly-dont buy it.string it up with light gauge guitar strings-less pressure on tiny fingers and sound sweeter and if you want to learn to read music/chords them learn tab or tablature-itll take about 4 hours of your time to do this but will serve you well and its a system of music reading for people who cant read music so dont worry-just take your time and once learned you'll be soooooo glad that you did!!!good luck and keep rocking!!!!

Music store or pawnshop is your best bet.

However, you're going to be hard pressed to find a guitar that weighs that much. Most are below 20lbs.

Answer 5

Try a place like Ebay or a used guitar store, because both places will sell them quite cheap. www.ebay.com
