tips for buying my first guitar
By Mars_Cleric 40 Comments
I decided after some consideration to learn guitar.
So I was going to go get an electric guitar that I can mess around with and teach myself some stuff.
The thing is my 21st birthday is coming up (March 9th, mark your calendars) and my parents wanted to buy me one.
But they don't want to buy me an entry level guitar, they want to buy me a guitar I can keep forever.
Also they got my older brother a sweet Cole Clark acoustic guitar for about $1200 and they wanted to get me an electric guitar for a similar price.
I have been looking at Maton guitars (coz it's an Aussie company) and they seem pretty cool but I really have no idea.
Any tips for me? Should I get the expensive guitar but then buy an entry level guitar as well to learn on that?
Edit:
Okay, I went down to the music shop (Better Music, in Philip) and after hours of looking I was constantly drawn back this one guitar...
The Maton MS503.
I also got a Roland Cube amp.
Thanks so much for all your tips and suggestions, you really helped a lot.
Now I just have to wait 3 weeks to play it...
