Buying a guitar

The question of how to buy a guitar looks pretty simple at first.

It seems like these musical instruments should all do the same thing - make guitar sounds. That's where quite a few people get it wrong. The sound produced by two similar looking guitars can be worlds apart in quality.

Staying with the major manufacturers can be somewhat safe. Its pretty hard to go too wrong with a Gibson or a American Fender guitar.

Even these should be checked out by a good guitar technician to make sure everything is right with them.

A guitar that really looks pretty good can be the biggest hunk of crud that you could buy.

Manufacturers know how to make a guitar look really good when it really is not all that great.

So what the next few pages are all about is how to figure out what a good guitar for you might be for you and the music you wish to play so that you are happy with your purchase.
