View Full Version : Buying a new guitar
Marsh-Mellow 10-25-2007, 02:49 PM I'm going to buy a new electric guitar. And I don't know all that much stuff about brands and what is really good and what is ok. So, I need some help. Im looking for a electric guitar, and I like ones with basic pickups and a light brownish neck. So I need some help with that. But I need to know brands. And the guitar has to be under $200. Can anyone help me? Any suggestions?
RedRockingMint 10-25-2007, 03:16 PM Well they only sell these online but you gotta bid on them like a auction. I have 2. They really don't have a name LOL. there like 80 and under with chord and stuff.
Id get a washburn. That was my first. It comes with a amp,chord,tuner and more.
BelieveInTink 10-25-2007, 03:18 PM Here's an idea for you: Look up DaisyRock Guitars on Google or on web. They have great guitars ; accoustic or electric under $200 dollars.
Hope this helps!

RedRockingMint 10-25-2007, 03:22 PM My first was a washburn. And be sure to mess around with your Amp. You can get some reallylyyyy good sounds.

I was looking at DaisyRock like 3 months ago. But I'm buying one at christmas. Im almost obsessed with guitars, and I like looking.
Edit: I looked up DaisyRock and the one I found in a guitar store 3 months ago, i couldnt see myself with a really gril guitar. I'm not THAT girly.
And I looked up washburn and I liked the models. Just not some of the designs. I'm still kind of new at guitars. I had mine for almost a year.
RedRockingMint 10-25-2007, 05:37 PM Me too. Lol I have a black and blue washburn.

Disneyzoodude 10-26-2007, 04:28 PM My brother likes guitars. He has a nice but cheap (in the way of cost) electric guitar. I dont know the brand but I will ask him when I get the chance.
BasketballFarrah 10-29-2007, 01:23 AM Same with me. @_@ But I just got mine today...I bought this one as I showed you before on my thread about guitars.

Orangemarker 10-29-2007, 03:19 AM I recommend Gibson, Ibanez, or Fender. The cheap ones under $100, I hate to say it... They're terrible. Don't go to Wal-Mart, Target, or Sams to get a guitar. One last thing, starter packs are the best deals.
Good luck!
CaptainLegoDude 10-29-2007, 03:26 AM I Would Recomend A Cort, There A Relativly Good Guitar And There Relativly Cheap I Think.
Good Luck!!
soccerkid 10-29-2007, 03:28 AM Yeah, orangemarker's right.
The first time I played guitar I had a Fender one at $250 and the neck of the guitar wasn't right, the strings weren't very good and eventually it barely made any noise when I plugged it into the amp..
But if you only can buy something at $200 dollars I think you should buy the Fender Starocaster starter pack.
Marsh-Mellow 10-29-2007, 02:30 PM I already have a fender strat. And I am not a beginner. I have taken guitar for a long time. Im looking at a guitar like this:
29742
If I get it in black and white, then it will be the same one that Kevin Jonas used in the music video 'Hold on'
Orangemarker 10-29-2007, 04:20 PM Ah, a Les Paul. Those are great guitars, you can't go wrong with them.
Marsh-Mellow 10-30-2007, 03:40 PM I saw that one in the guitar store I went to. And decided I didn't like it that much. And I might go with a daisy rock. I looked on their site. And saw one of the two guitars I saw in the store. And they let me play them to see if I like it. Here is one of the gutiars I saw, and the other one I have to get off my mom's camera phone:
29750
The other one was like that, but it was hot-ish pink with sparkles. It was really nice. Both of those guitars are like $350.00 or something like that.
cunana 11-06-2007, 12:01 AM i have a les paul
the black and white one haha
they are amazing and they arent as expensive as other guitars of about the same quality
well thats my opinion soo good luck on this!
Marsh-Mellow 11-06-2007, 04:20 PM I was looking at the les paul epiphone. It's really nice, but I think my friend has that, he might be mad that we have the same one.

The only guitar i can imagine you can buy for under $200 is the Squier Strat. If your looking for a cheap Les Paul then you will probably need to check out an auction on ebay, becaue Les Pauls are expensive.
