Quick Answers (FAQ)
What is a normal price for a guitar?

What is the price of a normal guitar?
For a solid beginner instrument you can keep for years, expect around $300–$600. Remember to budget for a setup, gig bag/case, and basic accessories.
What is the best electric guitar under $1000?
Great choices include PRS SE Custom 24, Fender Player Strat/Tele, Yamaha Revstar, and Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The best pick depends on neck feel, pickups, and genre.
Which is the No. 1 guitar brand?
Fender and Gibson dominate many electric categories; Taylor and Martin lead acoustics. The “best” brand varies by model family, budget, and playing style.
Is it better to buy new or used?
Used often offers better value if condition is verified. New provides warranty and consistent quality. Always factor setup and potential maintenance into total cost.
How much should I spend as a beginner?
A comfortable range is $250–$600 for a playable guitar that will last through the learning phase. Prioritize comfort, setup quality, and staying in tune.
Do guitar size and neck profile matter?
Yes. Smaller bodies and slimmer necks are often easier for beginners and smaller hands. Try several neck profiles (C, D, V) to see what feels natural.
How often should I change strings?
For regular practice, every 1–3 months, or sooner if tone dulls, strings corrode, or intonation drifts. Wipe strings after playing to extend life.
