Contrary to popular belief, electric guitars are an instrument that requires you to master two very different things. One is, of course, the playing technique, but the other is utilizing the hardware of that guitar and that of the amplifier in order to dial in a great tone.
Finding decent beginners’ entry level electric guitar is not as easy as it looks. As a matter of fact, it is probably harder than finding a top tier model that fits you. The main issue with entry level guitars is the fact that you are getting a compromise of some kind.
Manufacturers are racing to find a way that will allow them to produce these guitars at a lower cost, which in turn makes them cheaper to buy. Because
First things first, the guitar you buy does not defines the genre you play, it’s your music. So it’s a no big deal if you don’t own the guitar which is typically played by rest of the musicians of your music. If you go for something contemporary, you will in fact sound like just another band/musician.
