When it comes to special occasions like birthdays, graduations, Easter, Christmas and others do you have trouble finding that perfect gift? Did you ever think about giving someone an electric guitar? How about giving someone a complete electric guitar package.
How about, if they already play guitar? The perfect gift might be one of the many guitar accessories that are available. You might want to think about a guitar related gift for their room. Even the most avid guitarist wouldn’t say no to a rug in their room with guitars all over it, or a guitar lamp made from a real guitar.
If you don’t want to spend that much look around for one of the great leather or polyester guitar straps that are available.
Just a few simple steps can keep your electric guitar looking new and playing new. The same thing applies if you purchased an acoustic guitar, or a bass guitar.
From the time you made your purchase you should have picked up some guitar polish and some soft rages, or maybe you purchased an electric guitar package that has guitar polish and special rags in it. These two guitar accessories when used often can preserve the finish on your guitar, cleaning the strings can result in making them last longer also.
You should get into the habit of keeping your hands clean when playing your guitar along with wiping the guitar and strings down after every use. The oil given off by your fingertips can be one of the biggest reasons your strings would have to be changed often.
With the right playing habits and just a few simple steps mentioned above there is no reason your electric guitar can’t have an outstanding appearance like it did when it was new.
I have bee playing bass guitar for 45 years, some of it has been on stage but most of it has been just for me. I took lessons when I was in Junior High School which was followed by being a member of several bands.
In my 20’s I had to give up playing bass professionally in lieu of a full time job, it was a difficult thing to do. Although I gave up playing in bands I still played for me, if I heard a song on the radio I was interested in I would learn it and play it.
I now play for the enjoyment of it, it’s relaxing and it’s fun. For anyone reading this blog your never too old to learn, whether it’s an acoustic guitar or you pick yourself up an electric guitar package, do it for yourself you’ll be glad you did.
Did you ever purchase something just to find out you need something else to make it work properly? Like buying a hockey puck without a stick, or a hockey stick without a puck. How about purchasing an IPOD alone that didn’t come with ear buds or some other device to produce the sound.
The same thing applies to purchasing a guitar. Whether it be an electric guitar, or even an electric bass guitar, without an amplifier the results would be same you can practice for yourself with the guitar but it would be awfully hard to hear anything without a bass amplifier or guitar amplifier.
From a logic’s stand point it makes much more sense to purchase an electric guitar package or a bass guitar package. Your wallet will thank you for this also as it is less expensive to buy a bass or electric guitar package. Along with an amplifier you would receive a guitar tuner ( also a necessity ), your guitar isn’t any good if it is not in tune ( bet you didn’t even think about that one ),
For your first purchase you bought a stratocaster electric guitar package with a 10 watt amplifier, you have had it for some time, you practice and play often and have decided you would like to get another guitar. You really have quite a few choices, you can purchase another strat guitar, telecaster style guitar, Les Paul style guitar, or even one of the jazz style guitars, and don’t rule out an acoustic guitar.
All the guitars mentioned above will play and sound different from your first strat. But why not take it to another level, instead of buying just another guitar consider picking up another electric guitar package. With your first purchase being a package with a 10 watt amp think about electric guitar packages with a 20 watt amplifier for your next purchase.
By having a second package with a 20 watt guitar amplifier you not only have a guitar with a different sound, you will also be able to use one amplifier as a preamp feeding the other amplifier giving you a greater range of sound possibilities. Don’t forget the other extras you also get when buying a package.
