Cheap Electric Guitars
If there’s anything good about buying cheap electric guitars… this is exactly it, it’s cheap. Now if you’re looking for a quality cheap guitar, good luck with that! Don’t get me wrong… they don’t all sound distorted, especially today with all this high tech testing!
However, keep in mind that you might be able to find a quality and cheap electric guitar if you keep your eyes open for garage sales that advertise musical instruments, or in some church basement sale. Most of the people that sell guitars at garage sales usually have no idea of its worth. But generally speaking, cheap means “not so good”, and there are a lot of those on the market.
On the other hand, other than usually sound that may sound distorted, the other good thing about cheap electric guitars is that they’re great for beginners who want to learn, and once they upgrade can usually get close to their money back if it’s kept in good condition.

Fender Vintage Guitars
What’s not to recognize in the Fender name. My first Fender product was a huge Fender piggy-back amplifier when I played bass for MC & The Checkmates.
The bio of Leo Fender is much too great and lengthy for me to do it justice in a simple post. Suffice to say that had it not been for Leo Fender, rock& roll would not have been the same. He pioneered the first electric, solid bodied bass guitar, which became commonly known amongst bass players as the Fender Jazz Bass, and commercially known as the Precision bass.
But with the likes of Stevie-Ray Vaughan and his brother, Clapton, Hendrix and others all playing Fenders… and more specifically the Fender Stratocaster… introduced in 1954, how can you possibly go wrong with any Fender Vintage Guitar?

Used Electric Guitars
What to look for in a used electric guitar can sometimes be confusing, but yet is critical to your enjoyment and satisfaction of the guitar. You don’t want to throw good money away on a used guitar that you’ll regret afterwards.
The first thing you need to do, is to make sure all of the pickups ( what allows an electric guitar to be amplified) work properly. Just strum the strings individually, and then all at once. Don’t forget to test all the knobs (volume, bass/treble, etc.). Another thing you need to look for is, are the strings too far away from the frets? The closer the strings are to the frets, the easier on the fingers it is to play. Also make sure the jack inlet is not loose, and the guitar strap knobs are not missing and solid.
With used electric guitars, as in any guitar, you also want to check for cracks or small openings in the structure of the guitar if it is of the “hollow” type, as this will affect the sound. Also as important, is the type of wood the used electric guitar is made of. Typically, cheap guitars are made of poplar, while expensive electric guitars are made of a higher quality of wood. These can either be mahogany, ash, basswood, and alder. It’s not always obvious when you know nothing about woods, however, the seller should be able to help you with this. If not, you can always research the name and model online. The neck of the guitar should be made of either maple or rosewood, but more commonly maple.

Vintage Rickenbacker Guitars
I was born in 1948, and by the time I was 12, I owned my first Gibson with my own pair of cowboy boots. I’ll tell you about this later. Right now, the emphasis is on Vintage Rickenbacker Guitars named after Adolph Rickenbacker. But it is not until F.C. Hall, unhappy with his relationship with Leo Fender (Fender guitars), that he bought Adolph Rickenbacker’s company… Electro Strings, which really turned things around for the Rickenbacker name. At the time, Rickenbacker guitars was predominantly lap guitars, but with rock&roll quickly sweeping the nation in the 50s, a new line of guitars were introduced to meet the changing times (thanks Elvis). Rickenbacker introduced their first line of guitars as we know them today, the combo 600 and combo 800 combo, followed by the combo 400. The most popular of Vintage Rickenbacker Guitars of the 50s, is the hollow-body, 6-string, Capri models introduced in 1958. But it is not until the Beatles made their appearance in the early 60s, that Rickenbacker guitars really became famous, and soon enough the Rickenbacker name was a household word in music industry!

Vintage Electric Guitars
Vintage implies old. A Vintage Electric Guitar is simply a fancy term used to describe an “old electric guitar”, and are usually sought after by collectors. More and more, everyday guitar players also seek “vintage electric guitars” because of what expert musicians and professional band members say, “that the quality and sound of old guitars is better than guitars that are mass produced”. However, you will see terms such as “new vintage”. This implies a new guitar made to look like an old guitar, and often the quality of the sound of a true vintage cannot be replicated. When one refers to… let’s say, a 1996 new vintage whatever… what they really mean is a replica of a vintage electric guitar crafted in the 50s or 60s. The other advantage of owning a true vintage electric guitar is as an investment, because of it’s dramatic increase in value.
