About Guitars

One of the most popular musical instruments in today’s world is the guitar. They are so versatile and apparently have made their presence known in all kinds of music. Moreover, they are easy to learn.

You will run into countless dilemmas while trying to find out the right guitar. It might be choosing between an acoustic or electric, or whether to invest in a high-end expensive one or an affordable model if you’re buying your first instrument. While there are many factors that can influence your choice, some prioritising factors include the sound and look of the instrument. Having a better understanding of them will help you make the right choices while making the purchase. Read this article to find out more about them.

Different types of guitars

The guitars are one of the oldest stringed instruments. Despite the fact that there are different variations of them like ukuleles and banjos, there exist varieties even within the guitar family. Each type has characteristics and qualities of its own. So, in order to choose the right type of them, you should know the features and qualities of each one of them. This buying guide will help simplify the process of finding the right instrument for you from deciding between types and models to deciding which sizes to purchase.

Electric guitars

With electric guitars a lot is possible. Because in electric guitars the sound is created in the form of electric signals rather than real sound. So, as the guitarist picks the strings, the circuit board creates electric signals corresponding to that note. This signal travels to the amplifiers, and then the actual come out through the speakers. Because it is possible to alter and tune these digital signals within the guitar itself, electric ones offer a lot more flexibility than their traditional counterparts. Because of the same reason, there are so many different variations within electric types.

Acoustic guitars

This is the most common type. There are plenty of reasons for this. Firstly, acoustic models are more affordable than electric models. Secondly, you don’t need any additional instruments like amplifiers or speakers in order to play them. While the sound that comes out when the guitarist picks the string might not be loud enough by themselves, the sound gets amplified inside the hollow body of the guitars. This will be loud enough for small indoor venues. If you want to amplify the sound further, you can use a microphone to pick up the sound and send it through amplifiers and speakers.

Electroacoustic

As you can probably understand from the name, this type is a crossover between acoustic and electric guitars. However, when it comes to the tonal characteristics, these models are more related to acoustic rather than electric models. The feature that makes these models electric is the presence of an inbuilt sound pick up unit. Because of this, you can plug the instrument directly into the amplifier without an external microphone. So, electro-acoustic guitars eliminate the need to have a separate pick-up mechanism.

Resonator

At first look, the resonator guitar will look like an acoustic one. However, you will notice that there are some additional fittings where there would be a hollow portion in acoustic models. Actually, this is the resonator mechanism. The advantage of resonator guitars is that they are louder than acoustic ones without using any speakers or amplifiers. Inside the resonator chamber, there will be an array of metal cones. These cones will work similarly to a loudspeaker and amplifiers the sound of the notes. The number of resonating metal cones varies between models.

Tips on how to buy Guitars Online

The very first step to mastering an instrument is actually owning that instrument. But shopping for an instrument as a beginner can be overwhelming since there are so many different brands and models. Regardless it is imperative to make sure that you are getting the right instrument. That being said, it will be easier to find the right one if you know what factors to consider in them. Here are a few things to consider while you are shopping for guitars.

  • Type of guitar – First of all you need to decide what type of guitar you want. If you are a beginner, then an acoustic guitar is undoubtedly better for you. They are more affordable, durable, and easier to play. But if you are a professional guitarist regularly performing on stage or if you want more innovative sounds with your instrument, you might want to consider getting an electric guitar.
  • Sound quality – Because the guitar is a musical instrument, the sound quality of it is going to be of primary importance. Nobody likes the sound of a terrible guitar, do they? Another aspect to consider is whether or not the instrument stays in tune. While you will have to tune the instrument every now and then, it should stay in tune for a considerable amount of time.
  • Quality of the electronics – This applies to both electric guitars and electro-acoustic guitars. In an electric guitar, the electronic components inside them should be of good quality. The digital converters in the instrument should be of high fidelity in order to preserve the sound quality. Moreover, they should be durable. Otherwise, you will find yourself unable to play the instrument as the electronic components keep failing.
  • Price and durability – It is common for guitars, or any other musical instruments for that matter, to come in a wide variety of prices. Sometimes you might find those that have ridiculously high price tags. Some professional models might even cost tens of thousands of dirhams. However, you don’t always need the most expensive ones to play well. Just think about how you will be using the instrument and find a device that satisfies your requirements and also falls within your budget.

If you are a musician, you will need several other things apart from musical instruments. These include things like speakers, amplifiers, preamps, audio cables, mixers, instrument cases, instrument stands, and cleaning kits. You can find any of these easily using our shopping search engine . It will also let you compare the prices and features of different products and pick the best one among them. So, don’t forget to check out all the other amazing products from the Musical Instruments category.

Question & Answer

Why are guitars so expensive?

Not all guitars are expensive. You can find affordable acoustic guitars for around a hundred and fifty dirhams.

Modern guitars have high fidelity electronic sound pick up mechanism and an advanced tuning system. Therefore, it is not surprising to see electric guitars that cost you as much as a small car. So, to answer the question, some guitars are expensive because of the precision, skill, and technology that goes into making them.

Which guitars are best for beginners?

There are a few things to consider while buying a beginner guitar. Firstly, there is playability. While it is true that electric guitars are the most flexible and easiest to play, there are a few problems with it. For one thing, electric guitars are much more expensive. Also, the strings of electric guitars are more delicate. Because of these factors, acoustic guitars will make for the best beginner instruments.
