Beginner's Guide to Guitars in India

There are three main types of guitars: steel-string acoustic guitars, classical guitars with nylon strings, and electric guitars. For beginners, the document recommends starting with a steel-string acoustic guitar as they are inexpensive, easy to use, and produce good sound without needing an amplifier. When choosing a beginner acoustic guitar, the key factors to consider are action or string height, string quality, comfort and playability, and price, with affordable but high-quality options recommended starting at Rs. 4,000.

Basic Classi cation of Guitar

Before we get into the best guitars in India for


beginners, You must understand that guitars have a
wide range of classi cations

What are the different types of guitars? How much


should you actually spend? Should you buy second-
hand? What’s the general size of the guitars? What
wood nish is the best for guitars?

There are mainly 3 types of guitars

3. Electric guitars YOU!

As a beginner what you will need is


a steel-string acoustic guitar. Those are the same

Comparing the nylon string & steel string guitars,
acoustic guitars with steel strings produce better
sounds and priced reasonably low

For a beginner, playability should be more


important than sound.

Nylon string guitars have soft strings, comfortable for


beginners but would rather make you bored of its
sound on long usage. Its price is also a little higher
compared to the steel-string guitar

Acoustic guitars are simple, easy to use, and have all


you need to get started. You don’t have to worry about
plugging into anything. Those are the ones we
recommend you begin with

Did you know, Guitarists are more likely to be


successful if they start on acoustic guitar. They are
simple quick and easy to use
.

You must NOT go for the electric guitars unless you


know how it sounds & what music you really want to
play for. Though they are lighter and far more
comfortable than acoustic guitars, the main difference
is that their output sound can be ampli ed

Beginners Guitar Buying Guid


1. Structure & Size of the Guita
This basically refers to the size of the guitar- full-sized,
medium-sized, or small-sized

Depending on the shape of the guitar i.e. guitar wood


body shape, they are further called by different names.
As for a beginner, this really isn’t a concern to take in

2. Action of Guitars VERY IMPORTANT


Action refers to the height of the strings from the
fretboard. This is one of the important factors you will

fi
.

need to consider for buying the best guitars in India


specially for beginners

More the action/height from the strings, the more the


pressure you need to apply for playing the strings.

Guitar A has low and better action compared to B


The guitar’s instrumental sound is produced when the
strings vibrate and hit the fretboard. The action of the
guitar should be not too high or too low, but a minimum
height for better playability
.

3. Strings Qualit
To prevent it frequently from breaking, get an
extra good pair of strings from preferably D’Addario or
go for a good guitar with one

4. Comfortability & Playabilit


To play guitar really well, it requires the person playing
to be in a comfortable position in terms of the posture
he holds the guitar, and how he plays it

Beginners Guitar Price in Indi

Depending on your budget you must be spending your


money accordingly for the guitar. The more your budget
is, the better the sound would be
a

There are guitars staring at cheap rates of Rs.2000 and


Rs.3000. However, we suggest that you at-least
invest Rs.4000 for a decent good guitar best for
you.

It’s understandable that if you want a cheap guitar just


to play for not-so-long. But the truth is that there are
decent affordable guitars suited for starters that will
cost you only a little above what a cheap one’s costs

Note: Buying a cheap guitar can easily degrade your


instrument learning and also, they really don’t sound
that well. You just need to spend a few more to get the
perfect beginner friendly ones

Really Cheap Guitar for Beginner

These are some of the cheapest guitars in the Indian


market which we recommend, in case you are short on
budget for like Rs.1500-Rs.2000
.

I can con rm that these would sound mostly the same


as the other guitars, However, keep caution that these
low-cost guitars do not come with truss rods

If you want your guitars to last long and be able to


adjust the strings to a better extent – consider raising
your budget
