loss of quality with an acoustic electric guitar?




kevin p


It's time for a new guitar, I think the acoustic electrics are really cool and i'd kind of like to get one. But i'm wondering if it loses any quality on the acoustic side because it's more expensive. The one i'm looking at is a Martin 000CX1 and it's $675. I would imagine that a $675 acoustic guitar would be pretty decent, but with the electric components wouldn't that kind of jack up the price making it so less quality is spent on the acoustic side? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.


Answer
Of course the addition of the pick up is going to jack up the price,they cost money and to match the quality sound of a Martin you'll want a high quality pick up.But that being said,if you buy a high quality pick up it should match the natural quality acoustic sound no problem at all. They sound exactly the same if you want it too.Laters.

What is a good quality acoustic electric guitar?

lately ive been wanting to learn how to play guitar. when my sister comes to visit she brings hers, but that is rarely, and she wont let me borrow it. so that is my only chance to practice. i just wanted to know of some good sounding acoustic electric guitars.


Answer
You'd have to go to a store and try some for yourself. Im a martin fan and I love the martin gpcpa4 but thats probably too expensive for someone learning. Good quality electric acoustics are expensive.
Some cheaper brands to check out for electric acoustic:
Epiphone
Takamine
These will be more expensive than non electric acoustics because you'll need an amp and headphones (so you don't piss anyone off) Its up to you what you learn with but I would get a non electric. Lot more choice and cheaper. If you decide not to get electric here's some more brands and models worth checking.
Yamaha fg700s
Seagull s6 slim
Yamaha fg720s
When you get good then let the neighbourhood hear you.

I want to teach myself to play, but I still want a good quality acoustic guitar that will last me a long time. Kind of like an "easy enough for a beginner, good enough for a pro" type of deal that doesn't break the bank. I don't want to spend more than $200, with an absolute max of $250. Also, I want it to sound and look really really good. Any suggestions?


Answer
Sounds like Yamaha FG-700S woud be perfect for you. Not a professional guitar (which is not to be expected in this price range) but it has a solid spruce top and you probably won't outgrow it for a few years.

Does an electro acoustic guitar ever degrade over years?

Q. Hi guys, could an electro acoustic guitar produce bad quality sounds over 3 or 4 years of use and if it has minor minor scratches and the smallest ever dents (like a shallow dent the size of an ant) on it?

Thanks


Answer
Of course, any guitar can benefit by a trip to the doctor once in a while. The guitar may need a professional set up..about $35 in my area...they check the neck, adjust the bridge, intonation, truss rod..etc..etc...if needed.

Your guitar may need a new battery? If your electric/acoustic plays allright and sounds in tune, distortion and loss of volume is the first sign of a weak battery.

Electric Acoustic - Is it possible to play fast riffs on electric acoustic guitar?




Mark O


Also, I would welcome any recommendations for a mid- to high quality acoustic guitar to purchase for my girlfriend.


Answer
First question first. The answer is yes--you CAN play fast riffs on an acoustic-electric guitar. However, it must have 'fast' action and it needs to be strung with the lightest gauge acoustic strings you can find. There is also the matter of Technique. Hand strength and motor skills are vitally important to playing fast riffs on ANY instrument. I am not an advocate of the traditional appproach, which is to practice scales and other exercises until they are forever engraved in your brain. Rather, I think it is more effective and enjoyable to balance formal practice with playing what you WANT to play.

Question#2
How much do you want to spend? A typical mid-to-high quality acoustic guitar could run you anywhere from $1,500 to $!!!!!. Guild, Martin, and Gibson have guitars from the mid-to-high range. Also, there is Taylor, Breedlove, Cruz, and others, some of them makers of fine custom-built guitars.
It is impossible to recommend specific brands and models because everyone has different tastes. WARNING: If your gf doesn;t know how to play guitar, DON'T waste the money. Most gutiars that are bought as gifts quickly become shadowcatchers, dustcatchers, or worse. If she DOES play guitar, be sure to TAKE HER ALONG. For her to really appreciate what you're doing, she needs to LOVE THAT GUITAR! This ain't no diamond ring, but to a guitar girl, it's d*mn close.

Best of Luck!
