    Advice given here is not helpful. A beginner (or a parent buying for one) will not be seriously considering an expensive Gibson or American Fender or a high-maintenance tube amp. They'll be looking at Epiphone Les Paul Specials, at Squier Affinity or Bullet models, at Staggs, at unbranded made-in-China guitars; at 15-watt bedroom amps; at starter packs. The absolute beginner still learning her cowboy chords does not need to be thinking about pedals yet. She could use practical advice on guitar care and supplies, on a gig bag to take the guitar to lessons. These things, not high-dollar gear, are what the presenter should be talking about.

There’s a guy I know from the local coffee shop who bought his kid that new iPad Pro. TWICE. Because the kid broke it a few weeks after it was purchased.

    Horrible info. If your guitar needs a full setup four times a year, the guitar is bad. Also expressed that cheaper guitars simply sound different. Wrong! Biggest difference is playability. Cheaper means less fret work, less consistency, cheaper tuners, bridges & electronics which means wont stay in tune as well, won't hold up to use, may not be able to lower action (string height) as much. Those are more important than sound especially if you are learning to play. And a beginner should never be sold a Fender Twin unless they are practicing inside a stadium 😵

    My thought or advice would be to ignore what your hero’s played for a moment and be less visual and more practical like you would with a pair of jeans. 1. Which one fits you, neck shape & size 2. Nut width is also crucial as the spacing with effect your playing if not suited for your fingers. 3. Play it clean & see which sound, style of pickups , solid or hallow bodies you gravitate towards. Then compare the American made original version to the foreign copy’s also known as “budget guitars” Remember not every guitar shaped liked a strat is a strat and not every American guitar is worth the $. Personally I buy less but only American.

    My Sam Ash experience is this:
    I live in California and want to buy an electric guitar. Go to Sam Ash website and look a store. THE SAM ASH WEBSITE IS HORRIBLE . Then go to GuitarCenter site and in 2 minutes i registered and see a local store

    How To Buy Your First Electric Guitar:
    Don’t. Just…don’t.
    But if you must, get a solid-body, preferably a Fender Telecaster. It’s maple neck is strong, & its sharp corners really dig into the face of anyone who says “You have to stay w/it!”, if you decide you don’t want to play any more.

    A setup for a guitar should only cost you around 50-55 dollars and that’s including strings. What a rip off...

    • @ayoauxiz3944
      @ayoauxiz3944 6 лет назад

      Excuse me what, buying full amps should be well over $300 on their own, strings should be extremely high quality and about $100 or a bit less. Picks should be $2 to ensure some quality.

      AyoAuxiz Do you not know what I mean by set up? Not amps and buying a guitar, I’m talking about an actual set up LOL! Like an adjustment, new strings, cleaning. Lmao

    Buying your first guitar? Watch as I recommend the top lineups from Fender and Gibson instead of the Yamaha Pacifica.
    Oh god he's trying to upsell cables. This sounds like someone who, rather than actually knowing his stuff, has memorized the sales documentation that the company hands out to new employees. Oh god. Service plans. Make it stop.

    How to choose your first guitar...
    Start by going into a shop with hundreds of them, pick a Gibson Les Paul o a Febder American Strat worth thousands of dollars...
    Nothing further from the reality of 99.9% of people looking for their first guitar.

      He's trying sell noobs a plan where the noob, not so much the guitar, gets set up every three months. You'd be better off learning how to do a basic setup yourself.

    So I guess your branch doesn't sell Dean Schecter or Ibanez,......dollar for dollar the mid level Ibanez and Korean guitars blow all these you mentioned away,......but you don't want the beginner to know about that because there's more of a mark up on the guitars you mentioned also if you can't afforda an ok tube amp,....don't bother with all the ditigal shit,.....but I guess the shoe-box Blackstar is only $99,......I'd still go with a basic Fender if you go S.S.....they probably don't even make a basic S.S. amp any more except for the Bandit,...and for that money you could buy a used tube amp.

    Uh, Earth to guy in video: Strats are not easy to bend on. The 25.5" scale, plus the fact that the spring-loaded tremolo follows you as you bend, make it harder to bend on than a lot of other guitars. I'm outta here.
