what guitar should....?

Question

i want to get a new electric guitar. I'm 14 and ive been playing for about 7 months (almost...). Im getting pretty good now... I dont know wat kinda guitar i should get. My parents are gonna get it for me for my bday, so nothin too expensive!
I want one with a fretboard that will be easy for me play, because my hands arent very big and alot of guitars make it really hard.
Can anyone reccomend anything?

Answer 1

watching alot of Disney and Nick are you? It's no wonder you play guitar since most of the preteen/teen girls in shows on those networks do. I also know that it is common for people your age to want to play musical instruments.

I like Washburn and Carver the best. They are made well and are relatively inexpensive.

Answer 2

Epiphone Les Pauls aren't very expensive and have a slightly shorter neck (scale length...look it up on google) than fender stats and telecasters. Fender mustangs or cyclones also have shorter necks. You will likely find these easier to play.

I had an epiphone Les Paul as my first electric guitar. They are OK. It was a good guitar for me as a beginner. I now play a Squier Telecaster primarily...its a cheap guitar (Paid $115) but since I know how to work on guitars its been heavily modified.

I would take someone with you that plays fairly well, and hit the stores. You can both play them and listen and get a feel for what you like. You don't have to buy right on the spot. This will give you a good sense of what you like.

my first guitar that i've purchased was a fender strat pack. it came with an electric guitar (with a smaller fretboard so i can play it easier, i have small hands too), it also came with a soft case, amp, wammie bar, instructional movie, electric tuner and strap. it was only like two or three hundred bucks, which isn't bad for all that, especially for a fender. i bought it at Sam Goody, but i also saw it at my local music/instrument shop, but for like fifty bucks more (and at same goody i had reward points that i ended up getting like 15-50 bucks back in coupons. i dont remember how much; it was a few years ago.)

Answer 4

Daisy Rock Guitars - they are tailored toward people with smaller hands and girls - check them out. If at all possible, try one out in person ans if your nervous about playing a guitar in front of other people - take someone with that plays, have them check it out too. Have fun!!
