differences in sound between cheap and expensive electric guitars?
Posted in cheap guitars | December 17th, 2009
will a cheap guitar and cheap amp, not sound as good as a good guitar? i bought both the amp and ibanez guitar for $100, would a guitar around $200-$400 sound better? does the amp really matter too? and some advice on a good guitar in the $200-400 range would be nice too thanks
i bought a cheap 100 dollar guitar and it was fine but i think it depends on the brand you buy. of course if its a famous name there is a chance that it will sound better. i think in a cheaper guitar the strings are not the best quality. you should make sure you buy top quality strings and defenitly invest in a good amp. the amp that came with my guitar was a piece of garbage and i only use it when i travel.

Yeah, more expensive equipment usually means better sound.
If you play a Gibson through a Marshall amp, you will get a way better sound than a Squier through a Line 6.
From what I hear Ibanez is a good brand, and you can get good tone with it. The amp really does matter, some are way better than others, and can do different things.
You can probably get a decent Epiphone Les Paul for that price range. It is no Gibson, but I’ve heard good reviews about them.

It depends on the brand, and what sounds good to you. A guitar $200-$400 might sound better who knows.
