There is a very large range of guitars on the market for you, the guitar beginner to choose from, so where do you start looking, which guitar brands are the generally accepted one’s to go for?

Some of the top guitar brands are in no particular order:

• Epiphone Guitars
• Ibanez Guitars
• Fender Guitars
• Dean Guitars
• Jackson Guitars
• Paul Reed Smith Guitars
• ESP Guitars
• Yamaha Guitars
• Gibson Guitars

For the new guitarist just starting out the advice of Play Learn Guitar would be to stick to one of these well known and respected guitar brands.

Sure, you may come across more, but the advice is to stick with a well known brand rather than plucking for a guitar brand that nobody has ever heard of.

Each of the above brands of guitar you should find for sale in your area unless you happen to live in the middle of the desert!

Each of these famous guitar brands will produce their very own unique and identifiable sounds, you may choose one over the other, not only based on guitar sound quality initially but rather simply because you just dig the cool looks and appearance of one guitar brand over another guitar brand.

Look for a guitar that of course has been looked after very well and preferably one that comes with it’s own custom guitar storage case as supplied by the guitar manufacturer.

The Gibson range of guitars are obviously absolutely superb with a price tag generally speaking to match.  If your guitar budget won’t allow you to stretch that far, why not go for the Epiphone guitar, a similar guitar sound to the Gibson guitar, without the expensive price tag attached.  And to be honest if you are a beginner guitarist, this make will almost certainly serve your needs very well indeed.

One of the most common guitar brands is the wide and varied selection manufactured by Yamaha guitars.  This particular guitar manufacturer is really very well suited to beginners and is a very popular choice among guitar beginners, intermediate players and even advanced players not wishing to go professional but just playing for pleasure among family and friends.

Each of these brand name guitars will have it’s own personal stamp of style and individuality, it’s completely up to you which one you think might appeal to you the most.

Play Learn Guitar suggests that before you go out blind, looking at guitar brands that perhaps you have never heard of or seen, that first you go to a website such as eBay and type in there, all of the guitar brand names one by one into the search box at that auction site.  Then you’ll easily be able to compare the different guitar models side by side and also you’ll be able to see by looking at the completed guitar listings, the end price realised for each guitar sold.  Simply pick a guitar manufacturer brand that you like the look of and go with your gut instinct, at the very least this should help you to hone down your guitar brand choice to just one or two makes.
