Starting out on guitar and confused about buying your first guitar? You're probably not alone. One common choice for beginners is to invest in a cheap electric guitar package.
A lot of beginners decide to go down this route for their first guitar so I put together this article about why you might want to invest in a good cheap electric guitar pack.
What's So Good About Electric Guitar Packages?
Maybe you've decided to start learning guitar because you want to play your favorite songs and impress at parties? Or you're a big Hendrix or Clapton fan and want to play just like them. Well, you're going to need not a just a guitar that's easy to play but also all the accessories needed to make it sound good.
Since you've chosen to go for an electric guitar (good choice by the way - much kinder on the finger tips!) then you will definitely need an amplifier for example. An electric guitar package has all the things you need including the actual guitar, an amp and a gig bag to carry it around easily.
Here are the 3 key points that most people who have reviewed electric guitar packs say about them:
Guitar packages are ideal for beginners. Rather than shopping individually for all the items you think you'll need you can just make one purchase and be confident it has everything included.
The quality is surprisingly good. You might expect that a cheap pack might be made of cheap materials. But these days the quality of guitar and amp manufacture is really quite high and it's actually quite hard to buy a poorly made guitar.
It will give you a chance to see if you want to invest in a more expensive guitar. If you've always wanted a particularly expensive guitar then it might be better to start with a cheap one and save up once you know you're going to keep playing. There's nothing worse than buying an expensive instrument just to have it sitting around unused.
So Where Can I Get Good Cheap Guitar Package?
There are many online stores that sell electric guitar packages. Often they will have a sale on or a special deal offering free shipping. Most of the bigger e-commerce stores will also offer a free return policy. It's a good idea to check out some third party websites and find out where other people have bought their guitars from.
