Things to consider when buying your first guitar
- The size – You don’t need much from your first guitar but choosing a suitable size and shape is important. For teenagers and adults a full size guitar is recommended. For children a ¾ size guitar will be much more manageable
- The shape – Spiky and extreme shaped guitars can be impractical and uncomfortable to play sitting down so often they might not be the best option for a beginner
- Amplifier – With an electric guitar you need an amplifier to play it properly. If your guitar didn’t come with one a number of small affordable practice amps are easily available
