How to choose an electric guitar brand?


1、 What is an electric guitar, what is the difference between an electric guitar and a wooden guitar?
Electric guitar is a plucked string instrument that differs from traditional guitars in that it does not rely on the vibration of the box to produce sound. Instead, it utilizes the principles of electromagnetics and is equipped with a coil, also known as a "pickup", on the body of the electric guitar. When the magnetized guitar string vibrates, it causes a change in the flux of the coil on the pickup, resulting in different frequencies of current in the coil. When the current is restored through the electronic speaker, it becomes the sound of the electric guitar.
Therefore, the main structures that make up an electric guitar include: body, neck, head, bridge, pillow, pickup, strings, etc.
I believe many beginners will ask this question before learning: which one is easy to learn, electric guitar or wooden guitar? In fact, both have their advantages and disadvantages:
Wooden guitar, although the strings are thick and difficult to play, is initially difficult for beginners. However, when playing, there is no need for a lot of things, and it can be played anytime, anywhere.
Electric guitar relies mainly on pickups for sound production, with a loud sound that is easier to play. It also has multiple techniques and a wide range of styles, allowing for better mastery of music styles. Popular, jazz, heavy metal, and more can be easily mastered, but the setup is complex and requires a lot of equipment.
2、 How to choose an electric guitar?
1. What is the price range for a novice electric guitar?
What kind of musical instrument to buy and its price point are definitely easy to pay attention to, especially for beginners, what price point to buy an electric guitar for beginners?
The price range for buying an electric guitar depends on the purpose of beginners learning it. If you are only practicing it as a hobby in your spare time, then buy an electric guitar for 1000-2000 yuan. If you want to focus on learning an electric guitar, then this price range is definitely not available, but it should not be lower than the 1000 yuan price range.
In short, whether you are interested or serious about learning electric guitars, it is advisable to choose large brand electric guitars priced between 1000 and 5000 yuan during the beginner's stage, with guaranteed quality control!
2. How to choose an electric guitar pickup?
There are three types of pickups for electric guitars: single coil, P90, and double coil, each with different sound performances:
Single coil, with a brighter and thinner sound, has good clarity and high-frequency response, but it is also prone to producing background noise.
P90, The sound is full and warm, and it is an alternative single coil pickup introduced by Gibson in 1946. The coil is wider and the magnetic aperture is wider, but the high-frequency response is not very prominent.
Double coil, with thick and powerful sound, solves the problem of bottom noise in single coils. The sound is more impactful, but due to the larger output, it is also prone to overload and distorted sound.
Generally speaking, the position of the pickup on an electric guitar is at the neck and bridge. The closer to the neck, the fuller and more rounded the sound of the pickup, and the closer to the bridge, the brighter the sound of the pickup. There are many combinations of pickups on an electric guitar. For beginners, whether to choose dual or single, single or double pickups, etc., it depends on their favorite music style.
