  • 7 Common Mistakes When Buying a Beginner Guitar
    7 common mistakes when buying a beginner guitar 1. Getting the wrong sound – Classical, Acoustic or Electric? You have 3 basic choices of sound when you buy a guitar – Nylon String Classical, Steel String Acoustic and Electric. A lot of people believe that the best choice is to start on an Acoustic Guitar and build up to an Electric Guitar. However, I think it’s really about getting the sound that you want. If you like AC/DC, Green Day, or say the Foo Fighters, you really need an Electric Guitar to get the sound you want. If you like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper or Taylor Swift, An acoustic could be a good choice. Nylon string guitars sound great for flamenco music, classical music and a lot of traditional music. But they aren’t a great choice for pop music. Having said this, if it’s for a child under 12 we normally do recommend a nylon string as it’s easier for them to press the strings down. Young boys can be little better then young girls as this, so if you have a rough and tumble boy he might be able to handle steel strings earlier than a young girl. If you’re not sure what type of guitar is best for you, then just think of the music that you like to listen to the most, and call or email us. We will give you a personalized recommendation. 2. Getting the wrong size This is something that a lot of people get wrong. Electric Guitars are much smaller than Steel string acoustic guitars and Nylon String classical guitars, they can basically be used by most people, but you do need to consider the extra weight.
