What kind of guitar do i need?

Question

i'm a begginer and i would like to get a decent electric guitar to learn on. If you know any sites please include them.

Answer 1

I've played, gigged, and taught on the side for 20+ years(I'm an engineer until 5pm), so here's my 2 cents-

I'm assuming that you have zero knowledge at the moment. SInce this is your first guitar, stay away from eBay and the internet. There are lots of good beginner packs out there, so I'm not going to recommend a particular brand. Find someone who plays and go to the music store with him/her-get your partner to play some of your choices for you. If the guitar doesn't sound and feel right to you, it's not a good guitar no matter how much you may have paid. You want this to be your first guitar, not your last. Even with a beginner pack, the store should provide a "setup"- adjust the action and intonation, etc. Ask before you pay-if the sales geek wrinkles his nose and says something like "beginner packs come set up from the factory" take your money elsewhere.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Seamac is steering you right. Buy your guitar in person. You should get service.

The Fender 'Strat' (as opposed to the classic Stratocaster) is a model guitar that is rather inexpensive, and often is the guitar included in the starter packs from your local music store. It isn't a top-of the line, but it is a good quality instrument at a good price (as opposed to, say, the First Act Wal-Mart guitar which is cheap crap at a cheap crap price). Besides, as a beginner, you don't really want to be looking at a 1500 dollar ESP, anyway.
