What model electric guitar to buy for beginner?

Answer 1

This is a much debated issue among Guitarists. It really comes down to personal playing style as to what sort of guitar suits a player best, but as beginners have little or no experience the best choice for them would have to be something highly versatile. The most versatile and relatively low price Guitars are generally Vintages and copies of the famous Fender Stratocaster. Strat copies are available at almost every music shop around the world, and at the low end of price tend to vary little.

Better still are the statocasters made by Squier, a sub-company of Fender itself which are manufactured in Korea. Squiers are the best strat copies around and come in two styles: the Standard Series and the cheaper and more common Affinity Series. The Standard can usually be found at between £170 - £210, while the Affinity will usually cost between £140 - &160. Both of these guitars are durable and versatile, being able to handle virtually any kind of music, and are the best choice for most beginners.
