What type of electric guitar should I get my brother?!


Question: I want to get my little brother a good guitar for his 16th birthday. He doesn't play, but he really wants to learn. What's a good type of guitar I could get him? I'll pay for something nice, but nothing insane.

There are beginner electric guitars made by Fender, Epiphone, Ibanez and a lot of other companies that would be decent for a new player which you can buy for less than $150. If your brother sticks with it he'll probably want a better one soon so you might want to spend more and get a better guitar. You can check out Guitar Center or Sam Ash to find out what's available. I always recommend that you bring an experienced player to the store with you to try out the guitars and pick one that will be easy to learn on. You brother will need an amplifier as well. There are inexpensive headphone amps he could use to learn with but he'll need a real amp to play with and for other people.

Get a Fender " Squire " Strat. It looks real good and has that classic sound to it and they normally go for about $200 new. You can even find a packaged deal with a small amp thrown in too. You just have to look. Try the fender " black and chrome ". I'm getting one for myself!

A great guitar to start out with would be a Fender Squier. It won't break the bank, but it has the style and name of Fender. If he looses interest, you will only be out a couple hundred. If that is a little much to spend, try a Lyon or check your local pawn shops. Local department store also have guitars. It's much easier to move up to more expensive guitars, rather than loose a bunch of dollars.
