When you’re first starting out as a guitarist, what kind of guitar you have isn’t particularly important.īut one of the ongoing questions is whether there’s difference between those Made In China and the guitars Made In Korea and which you should be looking at buying.
If you know exactly one chord and can only hit it half the time, a quality guitar isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference. There will come a point, though, when you need a better guitar, because your sound will suffer. Plus, this is going to be the time when you want to get something that looks cool because, frankly, half the fun of playing is looking awesome when you do it.
Of course, if you’re like most guitarists, you don’t have a ton of money to spend on your guitar, either. You need that money for beer and women (or men). So what you’re looking for is something that sounds good, looks good, and won’t break the bank, which brings us to the Epiphone Les Paul. If you think of an electric guitar, the picture you have in your head is probably a Gibson Les Paul.
