🎸 Form factors: which guitar shape should I choose?

The shape of the body is not just about appearance (although looking cool on stage is also important). The weight of the instrument, the balance, the convenience of playing while sitting and, of course, the sound depend on the geometry of the soundboard. Consider the "Holy Trinity" of the guitar world and their modern derivatives.

🔊 Pickups: Singles or Humbuckers?

The pickup (sensor) is the microphone of an electric guitar. It picks up the vibrations of metal strings and turns them into an electrical signal. This is the heart of your sound.

Singles (Single-coil): Narrow sensors with a single coil. They sound bright, transparent and dynamic. Minus: they catch radio interference and "sound" (buzz) at high distortion. Great for clear sound.
Humbuckers (Humbucker): Wide sensors consisting of two coils. They are designed specifically to suppress noise (hum-canceling). They sound powerful, muffled and dense. If you want to play metal, punk or hard rock, you only need humbuckers.

, Expert advice NATUMBE.KZ: If you're a beginner and don't know what you're going to play, choose a guitar with a sensor configuration. H-S-S (A humbucker in a bridge and two singles). This is the most versatile option: you will play heavy riffs on the humbucker, and beautiful clean breaks on the singles.

New or used guitar: which is better?

There are many users from the location on our platform Kazakhstan they are looking for an answer to this question. Both options have their undeniable advantages.

Advantages of the new electric guitar:

Perfect condition. No chipped varnish, scratches or other people's sweat on the neck.
Guarantee. If there is something wrong with the electronics, the guitar can be returned to the store.
The frets resource. The frets are not worn out by strings, they will last for many years to come.

Advantages of hand-held guitars (used):

Price. The guitar loses 20-40% of its value immediately after being taken out of the store. You can buy a tool of a higher class for the same money.
Dried wood. If the guitar is 5-10 years old, the tree has completely dried up and "settled down". The neck no longer "drives" the screw from humidity fluctuations, and the instrument often sounds even better, resonates more strongly.
It's already been brought to mind. The previous owner could have already taken the guitar to the master: polish the frets, adjust the height of the strings, change cheap sensors to branded ones. You get a combat-ready tool.

, Checklist: How do I check a used guitar when buying?

If you decide to take the tool with you {region.in }, be sure to do an inspection on this list.:

The neck should be smooth. Take the guitar like a gun and look along the neck from the soundboard to the pegs. The neck should not be twisted by a "screw" or a "propeller". Only a slight deflection in the center is allowed (it is regulated by an anchor rod).
Check the frets. Look at the metal door sills on the neck. There should be no deep holes under the strings (especially under the 2nd and 3rd strings on the first frets). If there are any, the strings will ring, and replacing the frets will cost a decent amount.
Electronics. Make sure to connect your guitar to the amp! Turn the volume and tone knobs. They should rotate smoothly, without cracking or rustling in the dynamics. Flip the pickup switch — the sound should change clearly, without volume drops.
Spikes. Twist them. They should not play or spin idly, otherwise the guitar will not keep up.
Cracks. Cracks on the varnish (cobweb) are normal. But if the crack goes through the wood itself (especially in the place where the neck is attached to the soundboard or on the "head" of the neck), it is better to refuse the purchase.

What should I buy with an electric guitar? (Basic set)

The electric guitar itself sounds quieter than the acoustic one. To make her "sing", you will need additional things. Plan your budget with these accessories in mind.:

Combo-amplifier (Kombik): This is a speaker with a built-in amplifier. A 10-15 Watt transistor or digital combo is enough for a home (for example, Boss Katana Mini, Blackstar Fly 3, Marshall MG15).
Instrument Cable (Jack-Jack): Don't skimp on the wire! A cheap cable for 3 kopecks will catch the radio, make noise and break down in a month. Take a good 3 meter long cable with high-quality plugs.
Tuner: A guitar tuning device (a clothespin on the neck). Although it is now possible to tune a guitar through a smartphone app (for example, GuitarTuna), a hardware tuner is more accurate and more convenient.
Belt and picks: The obligatory little things. Take a handful of mediators at once — they tend to disappear without a trace in parallel dimensions.
Case: For storage at home (so that dust does not settle and wood does not crumble) and for trips to rehearsals.
