How To Choose A Guitar

1. Most important, only select a guitar you know is fully inspected and adjusted for easy playability, accuracy in tuning, intonation and tone production.

(There is no greater impedance to progress, developing propertechnique and the enjoyment of learning to play than a poorly constructed instrument.)

2. Choose a guitar that interests you the most. This way you will be more motivated to play and practice, practice and more practice.

(Many people mistakenly purchase an inexpensive acoustic guitar when they may really want an electric one. This is almost like buying a guarantee for failure. A cheaply made acoustic guitar will certainly lead you to quit before you are able to find your” OWN SOUND”.

3. Select the right size guitar

(Especially true for children; a guitar that is too large will make it difficult for your child to make the proper reach with both the right and left hands.

4. Select a guitar that does not sell at the bottom of the price barrel

(This may seem a little difficult without giving you accurate numbers, but the old adage is almost always true, “You get what you pay for”. Cheaply made guitars are not really playable or adjustable. They are not worth your time or money.

5. Avoid guitars and packages that promise to be a tremendous value for an amazingly low price! We have all fallen for this old trick.

(“If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is”.Guitar packages valued at $800.00 and selling for only $199.00. I have never seen a car worth 10,000 dollars sell for 2,000 dollars. The same is with any Instrument.)

6. Do not fall into the so-called major "Brand Name" trap. Don’t be a FOOL

(Obviously the cost of media advertising is included in the overall cost of the instrument. You may end up paying more for the brand name while the quality is the same or paying a competitive price for an instrument of less quality. Stop paying someone else’s RENT!)

7. Select a guitar with a finish and color you enjoy

(A guitar that not only plays and sounds well but also appeals to you visually can greatly contribute to your motivation to play and practice, practice and more practice).

8. Be sure to include an electronic tuner when you select your guitar

(Tuners are as important as having picks and strings. A guitar tuner actually helps you develop your musical ear much more quickly than learning to tune by ear alone.
