You definitely come here for your first or second guitar (or maybe you just a collector), but anyways... There's many mistake that beginner guitarist do about buying a new electric guitar.

That mistake is of course, not to know what they'll buying. Agghh, that mistake is a laugh for many advance guitar player, not just you don't look cool, you also waste your money, maybe from 300$ to 1000$, because they thought that more expensive guitar equals to better skill. 

There's a 500$ guitar that's feels comfortable for you, but there's also a 1,500$ guitar that feels awkward and not suited for your style of playing

Before you read tips from me about to pick which guitar that you want to buy, here's one thing that you should know :

• LEARN GUITAR PARTS AND HARDWARE

Now that is the only one thing that you need to know before you read my tips about picking "your" guitar

Why? because you can transfer the sound of style in your head to a real life sound.

Example, you want light sounding style, a single coil pickup stratocaster, maybe is your choice. Too light? maybe changing your string gauge to a thicker one, that will help you. 

Want a heavy sounding guitar? get a humbucker pickup. Ain't heavy enough? get a 11 gauge string, that also will help you 

You see, the more knowledge you knew, it'll be easier for you and your tech guy to find the sound you want.

So, stop about that, now here's the tips :
