Cheap electric guitars are a great alternative to shelling out a ton of dough on a top of the line brand new six string. That's a fact we've already discussed and you know buying a cheap electric guitar is the best option for you. So where should you look first?
The internet. No question about it.
The internet should be where you begin your search. That certainly doesn't mean your search shouldn't go any further than that. Your chances of finding a great deal on a cheap electric guitar are just as good in the real world(as opposed to the fake realm of teh internet!!@!). The internet may be where you find your best deal also, but the main purpose of using the internet is its usefulness as a research tool.
First its best to get a good idea of what kind of guitar you want to buy. Learn about the brands and what type of playing they cater to.
Are you looking to shred some heavy metal riffs? You might want to check out an Ibanez.
Do you see yourself as more of a blues player? A Fender or Gibson may be more your style.
Once you have an idea of what kind of cheap electric guitars your interested in playing its time to think about price. Go ahead and look up the retail prices for new models to get an idea of how much of a deal you can get when your quoted a used price.
When you have a good idea of price I'd recommend going down to your local music store and testing out some of the merchandise. Get to know the feel of each brand you're interested in listen to the type of sound the produce. But use caution and don't fall in love. Remember - the goal is to find deals on cheap electric guitars. Brand new guitars sold at major music stores are sure to be priced high. Guitar capos won't even come cheap at the major outlets.
You'll get there one day. When you're band is climbing the charts you'll be able to walk into the store and pick out 5 or 6 brand new axes before you're tour, but we're not their quite yet.
Once you've pinpointed the exact kind of guitar you want to buy then I'd suggest to get back online and check out some auction sites or classifieds and find the best price out there. You'll now be armed with the knowledge of what you want and what it should cost you.
Good luck and when you made a successful purchase come back for some beginner lesson on playing cheap electric guitars.
