These are imported also, but they really do a great classic Vox thing. It doesn’t have to be the limited cream and red paint job that I have, there are other AC4s that are really awesome as well. These guys can be found for about 200 bucks on Guitar Center used, or on Reverb. Things like Fender Champs are really awesome in the $200 price range, but for me, I’m actually going to go with my Vox AC4. Again, going used will be a really big benefit for you. Now that we have our guitar picked out, the next thing that we have to get is an amplifier of course. Next Up: The best budget tube amp we can find It enables me to do a lot of different styles, I personally love P90s, and it leaves me a little bit of budget for some other fun stuff. If I only had 600 bucks, $350 of it is definitely going to this guitar. You can find one of these not in the Pelham Blue but in I think there’s a black one for about $350 right now online. I’ve had it in videos quite a bit before. You’re probably going to have to get something imported if you’re trying to get something $350 or under, but there’s a lot of really great stuff from Squier these days, a lot of really great stuff from Epiphone, things that come in at a pretty affordable price-especially on the used market that are pretty quality guitars, again, so long as you can find one that’s pretty high quality.įor my purposes today, I’m going to pick my Epiphone 339. I just looked at, and there’s a lot of awesome options that you can find for used guitars right now. For you, if you’re starting out and building out your first guitar rig, ideally, you want a guitar that’s decent quality and that can grow with you, that you can hang on to for a while, and even swap out parts as you improve and need to improve the quality of your instrument overall. It really informs my style and my experience in playing my instrument, so to me, it’s worth getting something that’s pretty high quality. I’m going to spend about $350 of my $600 budget on my guitar because that’s the thing that I’m actually playing.
There are some really great budget amps that you can find, but in general, you do need a quality amp and a quality guitar.įor me, I’m going to splurge a little bit. A lot of people will tell you that a $200 guitar through a $500 amp is going to sound a lot better than a $500 through a $200 amp, and to a certain extent, that is true. It kind of depends on what your personal tastes are. Now, you could spend as few as $100 or $200 bucks on a guitar out of your $600, or you could spend more. The first thing you’re going to want to look for is, of course, a guitar.
But for our purposes today, we’re going to be ignoring all that and just assuming that what you can find things selling for right now online on the used sites is the price that can be had for these various pieces of gear that I’m going to select.
Now, obviously, with used gear, you don’t necessarily know where it’s coming from, so you do want to be able to check it out in person if at all possible and make sure that it’s the quality that you’re looking for and that there’s nothing severely wrong with it. Sometimes, you can save as much as 50% or more, so it’s really, really worth hunting for deals, especially if you don’t have that much money to spend. A lot of guitar gear you can get a pretty great discount on it if you’re buying used, whether it’s on Craigslist, locally, on or at Guitar Center used. The first rule and caveat to keep in mind here is one that I would definitely recommend to any player that was looking to put together a rig for not that much money, which is wherever possible, try and buy used. I’ve certainly spent a lot more than $600 on gear thus far, but even out of all the gear that I have, if I had to limit it down to a very, very narrow selection I’ve got a few pieces I know would be on my list. You just have to decide what stuff you’re willing to compromise on and what areas you want to focus on and prioritize.įor our purposes today, we’re going to be drawing on stuff from my own collection already. If you want to spend a hundred grand on a rig, you can get a ’59 Les Paul and call it a day-but you can still get a really good guitar rig, even if you only have a couple of hundred dollars to spend.
