Buying a new guitar can be an exciting time often, but you have to stop their enthusiasm in the way of making an informed decision.
The first thing I note is that even if a guitar costs $ 5,000, could not be better than a $ 2,000. The first rule when buying a new guitar is …
– No matter how good you think the guitar is, how much you like the guitarist / band or are told how good the guitar is. Do not buy a 'guitar Signature'.
What is a 'signature guitar is a guitarist's guitar. For example, Zakk Wylde, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan all have signature guitars. The main difference (apart price) is the appearance. The thing about signature guitars is that very high price and only cost a lot, because they have a guitarists name on it. So NO buy one, just be a waste of money.
Now another thing, you can buy a guitar for $ 100, or one that costs 10 times the price at $ 1,000. But $ 1,000 guitar is not the same value as the $ 100 guitar. Why? Because the $ 1,000 guitar is not 10 times better than the $ 100 guitar. It has strings, a bridge, a neck, chief engineer, etc. Once you realize this you find you do not have to spend much to get a good guitar.
Second place the mark. Trademarks are really just the little stamp that appears in the head and of course the body shape. This may shock you, but if I ever said that Cort bad guitar making, is also saying that Fender, Ibanez, Jackson guitars and more evil, because they are actually made in the Cort factory! So take Cort the best parts of all guitars, so Cort could really be the best Guitar brand! But many people (including myself) prefer other brands. Personally, I use Fender, but only because they play the guitar feels better than guitars 5 times the price!
Now, once you play through a lot guitars at all different price ranges and have found a guitar you like the feeling. Play through every note on each string. Do not play hard, but like usually chooses a note, This is to ensure there are no problems with the fingerboard. If there is a buzz in any string, be sure to ask the clerk if they can fix it for you.
Also, when you buy a new guitar, make sure to ask the store also have a professional setup done on guitar. What is this, is the creation of the action correctly, adjusting the truss rod, bridge, nut and fix everything else that is wrong with the guitar.
Luck should now be ready to make an informed decision when buying a new guitar, so good!
