The Best Guitars for Beginners - What Brands are Best?

What's a good beginner guitar? There are so many guitars out there, from cheap and poor quality to expensive and fancy. A beginner, obviously, should be looking for an inexpensive instrument that's also of respectable quality and reasonably easy to play. One of the worst problems with the cheapest guitars available is their lack of playability. That is, cheaper guitars are often more difficult to play than more expensive ones, due to a lack of quality craftsmanship and professional setup. This list will give you an idea of manufacturers who produce some quality budget instruments.

 

• Epiphone guitars are the Asian-made budget counterparts of the American guitar manufacturer Gibson. Epiphone offers cheap versions of iconic Gibson guitars, including the Les Paul, the SG, the Firebird and the ES-335. If you're looking for a starter electric guitar, an Epiphone G-400 may be a good choice. These guitars are light and easy to play. Epiphone also makes some quality acoustic guitars.

 

 

• Squier guitars are the Asian-made budget counterparts of the American guitar manufacturer Fender. The Squier Affinity Telecaster and Stratocaster are both good choices for beginner guitarists on a budget. The Squier Classic Vibe line is an even better quality line of guitars based on vintage instruments from Fender's storied history.

 

 

• Ibanez makes a number of nice budget-priced guitars, perfect for beginners. Though Ibanez guitars are a little less iconic as far as purists are concerned, Ibanez has been embraced more recently by metalheads and shredders. Ibanez produces some high quality starter guitar packages that would be worth investigation by any budding guitarist. 

 

• Agile guitars are high-quality, low-priced copies of famous guitars. Though these guitars have a comparatively low resale value due to Agile's lack of brand recognition, the company produces solid instruments based on a number of popular guitar manufacturers. There are versions of Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, Gretsch and other famous guitars, all available from Agile's website at a fraction of the name brand's price.

 

 

• First Act, widely demonized for being the guitars Wal-Mart sells, can't be beat when it comes to price. There are some higher-quality First Act guitars available, and some professional musicians even use them onstage. 

 

 

In Conclusion...

Choosing a beginner guitar is tough because it's important to find a proper balance between price and playability. If you're unsure, stick with the tried-and-trusted names and you probably won't go wrong.
