Answer 2

r u looking for acoustic or electric? i'm guessing he's a beginner because he doesn't have a guitar yet. i wouldn't be able to go two days without playing my guitar. i'm more a conesiour of acoustics myself, and i haven't really hear of them, i'm guessing they're more into electric. if you are looking for an electric and he is a beginner then make sure you don't get a squire. they are cheaply made and the action sucks.

if he's into acoustic, and he is a beginner, you can never go wrong with an alvarez. they're fairly priced and they sound pretty good. if you have the money and want to go one step higher, i'd look into an alvarez-yearie or a martin.

but the johnson may be a good guitar i don't know, just remember these things when you look for one.
1. get the guitar from a music store.
2. how old is it?-it will be marked down for one, and also the more it has been played the richer and fuller it will sound. the sound waves that resonate within the guitar's body actually causes the wood to compact and settle, and reduces the vibrations of the wood.
3. look at the neck to make sure its not bowed-hold the guitar at eye level and from the base of the body look down the fretboart to make sure ther is no warps or twists in the neck.
4. pluck the top string firmly-if you hear a rattling sound then the guitar is dehumidified. its not a real big deal, but definitely gets annoying when you're playing. this can be fixed by humidifying the guitar, they sell humidifyers at the music store, but the guitar won't ever get back to one hundred percent.
5. last look over the body of the guitar for cracks. its common for the finish to be cracked, but sometimes what's disguised as a crack in the finish could be a crack in the wood.

also, make sure its not a classical guitar.

remember, if you are buying from a music store, and they're not a high volume seller, you can haggle them into throwing in a guitar case, some strings, a strap, taxes, etc. the yearie i bought was 13 years old, retailed at $1200, but i got it for $600 including a case, some strings, a strap and they even went halfway on the taxes for me. plays great and sounds great. hope this helps.

Answer 3

Johnson guitars are relatively new, but they're good-quality instruments. My only question is what constitutes a "good deal." Depending on the price tag on that Johnson, you may be able to do better with another brand. Gibson, Taylor and Martin all make first-rate acoustic guitars, but you can't touch one of the good ones for under $1,000.00 (usually more like $1,500.00 or $2,000.00). Takamine makes great instruments for the price (anywhere from $400.00 to $1,200.00), but I wouldn't recommend getting a Takamine unless you're sure your husband likes that particular brand name -- not everyone likes them. Hopefully the price ranges I've given you will give you a better idea of just how "good" that deal you're getting on a Johnson guitar is.

Answer 4

Johnson guitars are entry level. So, if your hubby already plays it might be a better idea to ask some of his buddies rather than just go out for the best price.

Answer 5

I don't know much about guitars, but I heard you could get really good ones at pawn shops, alot of people go pawn them off. Try there, maybe you don't have to spend so much, see I don't have a whole lot of money so I have to look for the bargains. Good luck

Answer 6

If you want something that he'll really appreciate, look into the "Fender Stratocastor" or "Gibson les Paul". Both are superb guitars used by and appreciated by generations of the worlds' best guitarists. He'l love u forever!

Answer 7

yeah theyre good.They have a nice full sound. I dont own any but ive played a couple and they sound pretty great. Good Luck.

oh also theye really good for lefties too. if its his first one id say get a six string, but i really like 12 strings myself.
