Do I want a hollow-bodied guitar or a solid-bodied guitar? What genre of music is each guitar best designed for? We will answer all these questions. But just as importantly we'll help you get to the bottom of WHY you want to play guitar and how that can influence your decision-making.
    So whether you're looking to buy your first electric guitar or you just want to know which is the best electric guitar for you, you've landed in the right place. In this beginner's guide we will help you answer the ultimate question, "what guitar should I buy?"

    @thecaveofthedead 2 ปีที่แล้ว +311

    Just remember folks - these associations have really become clichés now. More than the actual tone differences in guitars, most of it is just fashion. Certain guitars happened to be played by someone influential in a genre and a few decades later it's _the_ guitar to play in that genre. But almost any of these guitars can sound perfect for any style of music. You can get twang out of Les Paul and a PRS and you can get a rock or metal roar out of a Telecaster.

      I would not say "perfect for any style". Only depends on the pickups. A telecaster with a single coil...nothing for metal. With a humbucker at the bridge...maybe but never tried. I think the most versatile guitar is a strat with a hss configuration. And the classic beginner guitar is a yamaha pacifica

    Amps and pickups are so versatile and advanced in technology now that the most simple guitar can sigh quietly or scream in mean rage. It’s almost about personal choice now. Some singer songwriter could use a Flying V or a doubleneck and get the sound they want.

    I chose my first guitar based on looks and on who played it. It's a cheap knock-off vintage style yellow Telecaster and I love it.
    For any beginners looking for advice, I'd recommend to get the guitar you think looks the coolest to you. You won't know enough yet to buy guitars based on their sound and by getting a guitar you like the looks of, you'll be more encouraged to play it. At least this worked out for me :)

    Here's my list. My first was a Fender Strat, and I love it for almost everything. I am a Bluesy girl at heart though. My second was a Gretsch 9221 resonator. Then came the Epiphone Firebird, then an Epiphone Les Paul Junior. After that came a Schecter Diamond Series T style, then an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro with the coil splits and phase shift. The last 2 in the herd were the Epiphone ES 339 just like the one you showed, and then I decided I needed a really good Tele, so I splurged on the Fender 70'th anniversary Broadcaster, and boy is that one a stunner. Next on the list is an Epiphone Century Olympic acoustic-electric, then a Gibson Korina V, and then maybe the Epiphone Century Deluxe acoustic bass. I think I may need an intervention, otherwise my optimum number of guitars is always going to be X plus 1...

    I had to take the low budget option really, at this point in time for my first electric guitar. I have a Squier Affinity Jazzmaster which is proving to be great to start learning properly. This has two humbuckers and 3 way switching, so there are many varying tones available depending on what pedals you include. I also have a Semi Accoustic Washburn and a fairly cheap classical guitar. Great video Ayla.

Remember components such as tuners and switches can be upgraded if need be. And if you just bond with a particular, individual guitar and feel it is the one, that is entirely valid.

    Great video, as always! Thank you for helping me become a better player.
    I bought my first guitar 15 years ago with lawn mowing money. It was a Squier Strat, and I bought it because it was cheap and I liked how it looks.
    I sacrificed that Squier to make myself a new one with some parts of the old one - the neck, the bridge, and a 250k tone pot and cap live on in the new guitar, as do a few pieces I cut out of the pick guard to mount the output jack and cover the electronics cutout. I modeled the body after the Dean Dimebag Razorback and cut it out of a large piece of basswood from a specialty wood supplier in my area, doing it all on our table saw, finishing cuts with a coping saw, and made the cavities needed in it with a chisel. Painted a checkerboard pattern on it with Rust Oleum spray paint with the help of much masking tape, and made sure it had knobs that went to 11. Bought a Seymour Duncan SH-6 pickup for the bridge, and used a cheap Powered by Lace humbucker for the neck. That guitar got me through many years, and still enjoy playing it. I still have the receipts and money order stubs from the parts for that - and get a kick in today's online shopping world, that everything was ordered with mailed in order forms and money orders, long before I had a checkbook or any payment cards.
    More recently, I had been thinking of venturing creating other sounds, and I recalled how when I was in middle school and we'd go to the music store to get things like slide oil for my trombone, how much I had always adored the hollowbody guitars that were hanging on the wall, and how I had always wanted a hollowbody. I didn't want to go full hollowbody, and didn't have much to spend, and I ultimately bought myself a Harley Benton Aeolus. It is a mighty nice guitar. It now has an SH-5 neck pickup and SH-6 bridge pickup, and it also a joy to play.
    Been though a nice journey with amps too. My very first wasn't a guitar amp at all - but rather, a Pioneer stereo system I had bought at a garage sale. It had a turntable, a tape player, AM/FM radio, and importantly - a 1/4" mic in jack. I figured out how to make the signal from that mic jack play out the speakers, and found that it had a nice crunch sound when the volume was turned up, and played on that for a long time. Then I got a Marshall MG100HDFX and a MG cab. Sold it, got a Marshall TSL100. Wanted something more classic, so I supplemented it with a JCM800 2205, which is my current big rig. I built a 2x10 cab out of scrap wood to use with the 2205, and used the TSL100 through the MG cab (how sinful). I later sold the TSL100 because I needed the money. Later, bought a Marshall Haze 15 head and a 1x12 Peavey cab as a practice amp, and I use the 2205 on top of the 2x10 and the MG cab.
    I figure that is all that I need, and that I shouldn't spend any more money on buying any more gear. But we'll see how that goes - because I would really like to have an acoustic guitar someday to play for my family around the bonfire - they don't jive so well with the whole electrified thing.
    I am not a good guitarist, but enjoy it very much, and find a lot of joy in every new thing I learn how to do with those six strings.

    Nice video! Informative and entertaining! When I was looking to buy my first guitar (6yrs ago, or so), I figured out what was common in the music that I like (which is more towards the heavier stuff), listened to some comparisons online and then got a used Epiphone SG "Emily the Strange" for about 160 Euros. It was really nice to begin with! Now I already own a couple of guitars, but none of the big brands like Gibson or Fender. I have a firebird-style guitar, which I built from a kit myself and which I'm really proud of, since it actually sounds, looks and plays awesome. Another favourite is my VOX SDC-55 in gold. That's a fairly rare one, but it's very nice looking and offers a lot of tone options with the switchable pickups. I got it used for a very reasonable price and will probably keep it forever ;) Ayla, thanks for your super nice videos! Cheers from Austria!

    This was very informative. From my short experience with buying a guitar was the choice of buying the right Amp with it. Do you happen to have a session for Amplifiers beside Guitars and Pedals? thanks.

    I've been metal shredding with a hollow body. It's the only electric I own, so I use it. I think with a good pedal board and amp, and you can do anything with any guitar.

    Great video! Country (older), folk, rock (older) and blues are genres that I play. I'm a Fender, PRS. and Ibanez fan. The Gretch you played sounded great, too. What model is that?

    Fantastic T-shirt, Ayla!
    I saw PF June 19th, 1973 in Pittsburgh with a venue-sized quadraphonic sound and a dome/roof that opened full up at intermission. DSotM had just been release in January, and the entire album was played in entirety opening with "Breath, breath in the air" just as the dome was opening letting in cool fresh June air and sweeping out remnants of massive smoke accumulated from first half pyrotechnics. Now becoming an outdoor concert the amps were turned up to 11. I've never seen any show that has topped that!!

    Hello Ayla, I enjoy your vids very much and are always informative in a style that suits me. But when can we expect a vid on selecting the right guitar strings? There are so many options, gauges, and manufacturers so is there any rhyme or reason to selecting the right string for my acoustic and electric? Having the right guitar is essential, but if you have lousy strings it doesn't mean as much. Any input would be welcome. Thanks and keep up the good work!

    The ES 339 is a MASSIVELY versatile instrument. It's smaller than the 335, so it isn't as awkward or unwieldy for smaller people. You can get a lovely gentle clean clear tone if you want one, especially on the 339's with coil splitting. Split to single coil, in position two, in between, almost sounds like an acoustic. Yet you crank up those humbuckers with some overdrive, and you can almost make it sound like a Les Paul. Just a touch crisper. The only reason I didn't keep mine is that I have a bit of a bum left shoulder from many years of swimming, and I have to be careful about playing position. Because of where the cutouts are positioned, and the shape of the body, I found the 339 sat a little different on my lap and around my neck. Very subtle. Just a fret more towards the bridge than a Les Paul. But that found me reaching out just a bit further when playing in open position, and my shoulder didn't like that at the time. I could get it in a more comfortable position by angling the neck up more, but then it wanted to butt dive off my lap. And when playing standing up, I found it wanted to pivot around the top strap button, which is positioned on the back of the body right where the neck is set in; aiming back at the player, rather than up the neck, in opposition to the bottom button and holding the guitar still with equally opposing force. It would pivot if I rested my right forearm on the body while picking. Tricky to learn to control, at least for me.
    So I found myself fighting the guitar, rather than playing it. So sad. It sounded wonderful. I do miss it. I can't help thinking I might have learned to cope better with time. I'm SURE many other players would not have the problems I did. Do consider it. It's a truly under-rated instrument, and kudos to Ayla for mentioning it.

    I always appreciate your content, particularly breaking down riffs, etc. I know you can’t touch them all in a single review, but the Epiphone Casino should always be mentioned because it’s a real hollow body like the ES-330 rather than a semi-hollow like the ES-335, and the P-90s in a hollow body have a very specific sound (particularly known now since the Beatles “Get Back” film has been re-edited and released). I also love the FenderJazzmaster because of the playing of Thom Yorke and Wilco, etc. Thanks for the good videos!

    Very knowledgeable video ty. I am new to playing guitar & my pick was the 75th anniversary Stratocaster because it is very versatile. As I grow as a player I think my next pick will be a Gibson les Paul if I have the budget. I like all music but many rock & alternative, will that fit the bill? Ty, Jeff.

  • @TheGuitarman1968

    Nice video, Ayla. Lots of good information here. My first guitar (over 40 years ago) was a Harmony "Les Paul" Sunburst Copy from Sears. It played surprisingly well (once set up correctly) for a $100 (1980 money) guitar. I now own 20 guitars from a lot of the "popular" guitar manufacturers, including Gibson, Fender, Kramer, Ibanez, PRS, Ovation and Takamine. I don't play a certain guitar because of the name on the headstock. I collect them for that reason.....lol. Seriously though, I play a guitar brand/model that feels comfortable and natural in my own hands. For me personally that is PRS. The weight, action and neck all just feel right for me on a PRS, but that may be different for other players. Although wood, string gauge and pickup types do have a lot to do with the tone of a guitar, with all of the effects available today, and coil tapped Humbucker pickups, you can just about make any guitar sound just like any other guitar. There is really no specific genre for any particular guitar model or brand , no matter what the guitar companies try to "market" to us. Heck, Rock Guitar Master Jimmy Page recorded a good majority of the first Led Zeppelin albums on a Fender Telecaster. Yeah, the same guitar that country star Brad Paisley uses. All I am trying to say here is to play a guitar that feels good to you personally and not what certain musicians or guitar companies tell you you "should" be playing. Keep on playing everyone. It's one of the pure enjoyments in life that nobody can take away from you. 🎸 🎸 🎸

    @maxhocks2006 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a Yamaha Stratocaster, an epiphone les Paul, and a 339 style guitar. I love them all. But the strat is bright and does clean tones really well , the les Paul does amazing rock tones (especially through my Marshall), and the 339 is super versatile and does chords really well. It’s possible to play any song on any guitar. But once you get more advanced you’ll want to play certain songs with certain guitars.

    Player stratocaster has been the best for me as a beginner. Had a squire and just wasn't comfy and the fretboard was rough and cut into my hands a lot. I upgraded to the mid range player series and it was night and day. Worth the extra money if you think you will stick with guitar.

    Hi, thanks for the video. Im assuming you use pedals for showing the effects? eg around the 14.00 min mark with the Strat, the different sounds you got were by using pedals? If so perhaps you should do a video using pedals. Just wondering how many novices perhaps looking at the video are assuming all the sounds were from the same set up....

    Glad to see you still have the wine red / cherry Les paul with your name on the truss rod cover . & I love your strat with gold scratch plate & of course I don't need to tell you but it's worth mentioning that Led Zeppelin 1st album was recorded on a Telecaster & back then both Jeff Beck & Eric used to use Telecaster's in the Yardbirds days .. & just in case someone out there has not seen the 1st Led Zeppelin Live show in Denmark tv studio Jimmy plays his Dragon Telecaster on that .. Stay cool stay safe .
