Great Budget Guitars Worth their Price


Hey guys,
Before I begin, I want to share with you guys some really cool stuff I found online. I found this really great music producing software and a drum beat maker. The link for the drum beat maker and the link for the music software are on the right. It's really worth a look because it's not at all expensive but worthwhile. They are two great finds.

Many beginners who want to buy an electric guitar, often start up with a guitar pack. They come with a guitar, amp, strap, picks and maybe a few others goodies like a tuner. The Squier and Yamaha packs are cheap but good ones. But after a few months or years of practice, you might get a little bored with them.

So for those of you who need an upgrade but at a somewhat strict budget, I made this post to help you pick out your perfect budget guitar for a price of about 250 pounds or $420. The guitars I’m about to show are roughly $420 but some may be a bit more or a bit less.

I’m not doing detailed reviews on them but I’m giving a small description, which gives you the basic knowledge about each guitar and their tone.

Lets see our contenders!!

-       -Squier 50’s classic vibe Stratocaster
-       -Yamaha Pacifica 112V
-       -ESP LTD EC50
-       -Epiphone Les Paul Studio
-       -Ibanez RGR321EX
-      - Jackson JS32T Dinky

Squier 50’s Classic Vibe Stratocaster

It’s got a pretty good finish and a slightly thicker neck. It’s not a ‘C’ shaped neck but is a bit of a handful. The single coil pickups make it give out very bright tone good for funk, blues, classic rock but not ideal for hard rock or metal.

Yamaha Pacifica 112V

This comes with two single coils and a humbucker, giving you a variety of different tones from a shimmering single coil to a meaty hum-less tone. It is a great Yamaha guitar even without considering it’s low price.

ESP LTD EC50

It has a nice shape and comes with two good humbuckers giving a much warmer tone. It is very much suited to rock and metal. The pickups are really powerful! Can’t forget to mention that it has a great costruction.

Epiphone Les Paul Studio

Great tone. Very fat sounding. It is below the Gibson les Paul obviously but a very nice rock-ish sound, which I personally like.

Ibanez RGR321EX

It’s got a very slim and fast neck with two heavy humbuckers. It’s almost made for shredding. The pickups are really great.

Jackson JS32T Dinky

Slim neck, two good humbuckers make this a really worthwhile guitar. The coil tapping feature is also available which gives a wide variety of tones. Great shred tone. Very heavy.

I can never pick the best guitar for you. I have my personal favorite but you have got to check all guitars and select what is best for you and your needs. Hope you liked this post. Cheers,
Visal.

My personal favorite is the ESP.


Guitar Fun Fact of the Day,
You can tune your guitar to the sound of a dial tone, because it's an A.
