You say you like acoustic style, so it might be worth looking to see if you can find a reasonable acoustic in your price range that has some internal electrics. If I was only going to own one guitar, that's what I'd probably choose anyway. You initially don't need to spend the money to buy an amp, and you can get a decent volume of sound out of an acoustic without having to be always near a power point.

With an acoustic, you just pick it up and play. You also don't get distracted by spending half your life mucking around with amp settings. Solid body guitars have very little sound without an amp, and even hollow body styles have a pretty weak sound unplugged.

Of course, the solid body electrics can be a little bit easier to play, and they look pretty cool too.... so, as the others said, you're going to want to try out a whole heap of options and find the one you fall in love with.... :wink:

Good hunting...

Cheers,

Play them all. Man, guitar shopping is so much fun.]]> Opinions and Polls Bish https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/some-help-please/#post-215053 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/some-help-please/#post-215025 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 15:49:44 +0000 what I did was play a few guitars in my $ range. then play a really expensive one. that way I was able to determine the differences in quality and playability.
then , since I had a way to measure, it was easier picking out the best guitar for the price.]]> Opinions and Polls dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/some-help-please/#post-215025 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/some-help-please/#post-215015 Sun, 17 Dec 2006 12:56:53 +0000
