Gute&”Günstige” E-Gitarre?

it does not necessarily have to be the most favorable. Do you have any recommendations?

Yes, watch electric guitars in the store on site and also calculate more expensive guitars so that you can test more flexibly, because it should go like me, it won’t give that guitar in favor.

You can, of course, roughly set up a possible tendency to test beforehand, for example by watching shapes on the Internet for electric guitars that you find cool and by becoming aware of what music you want to play, because humbuckers are usually more common in metal and the like, single boilers are more bluesig or clean on the go.

Pick-ups, construction and yes, even the shape and neck profile can take a massive influence on how it will fit your guitar and behave soundly.

So if someone tells you the form doesn’t count, that’s bullsh*t.

But be open-minded, because only because certain guitars are “usually for beginners” or certain musical directions, this does not have to be true for you for a long time.

Hold the guitar, let her look at you, listen to her, let that work on you, and look at her, let that work on you, too. In the best case, you can hang them around and get two, three handles shown to play them and just feel them.

Here I can tell you from my own experience that none of the “usual” guitars packed me, most likely Strat, because I am still neutral… but as a main guitar, they wouldn’t be deaf to me.

But for that, it did to me a Firebird V, which I did not have on the screen, especially not for the music I wanted to play. And yet it was/is exactly the perfect electric guitar for me.

After years of rest, I finally play these guitars and I tell you it’s a better feeling for worlds. At least for me, the guitar playing is inseparable with the Firebird V, these guitars are for me “mojo”, I love all of them.

Don’t let your desired music stop, the right guitar is more important and can translate it anyway, because you will play with their character instead of their character.

I play mostly Melodic Black Metal and yes, I use my Firebird V, which I would prefer any typical metal guitar at any time.

Do you have 150-200€ for the start? Or rather save a little more? 🙂

Calculate for the “Worst Case” if you, like me, are more on a rarer guitar type…

So more about. 800 – 950 €, so you are on the safe side.

However, for most solid electric guitars, there are already between €400 – 700.

Brands that are basically interesting:

• Cort (for Superstrats, with one of the best brands in price performance ratio, because you hardly pay for the name)
• Epiphone (especially for Firebirds, if from/after 2020, because all of them are without Neck-thru and do not fit ergonomically, unfortunately somewhat more expensive)
• Tokai (for all Gibson-Shapes, which naturally have glued set of Neck necks, because in the area Tokai Epiphone are often superior, Firebird also goes, but is rather a compromise)
• Squier (don’t take the cheapest, it’s recommended as the J Mascis Jazzmaster)
• MiM Fender (like Epiphone a little more expensive, but you usually get a very good instrument that will work the rest of your life)
• LTD (unfortunately expensive, yet one of the best price performance ratios ever, modern on metal brushed guitars)
• B.C.Rich (in this case it is recommended to have a medium-priced mockingbird or the like. No way to go low)

Ibabez, Yamaha and Harley Benton can also be tested, but in my opinion Cort stands out all three around worlds.
