An Electric Guitar Actually 😂

I am a relative beginner and currently have a Yamaha FS830 (acoustic) and a Fender Strat (electric). I am now in the market for an acoustic-electric and am considering a Taylor 214ce or similar. Do you have a recommendation and have you done any reviews of acoustic amps, and is there an amp you might recommend?

Get a pick up that you can put in the sound hole you get a better sound and not the Piezo sound🎼👍

I only bought one used guitar, and it happened to be an electro-acoustic Ibanez. Bought it 3 years ago, and it's still my number one guitar, and my favorite guitar ever. Never had any problems with it, I did the setup and thrust rod adjustment myself. I play it a lot. I really recommend buying a used guitar, of course I was lucky, but to be honest, if you can hold the guitar in your hands before you buy, there is a big chance you will be able to decide whether it's in good shape or not. And you don't really need to be a pro to tell, just follow this wonderful video above.

Great tips! It's definitely best to play before you buy if possible, and to bring along an experienced guitarist/luthier. Subbed and looking forward to more :)

Just bought a Yamaha c40 a couple of weeks ago on your recommendation and that of my brother who works in a music store. I love it. Thank you. And God bless.

Thank you for the video! So is it normal when the sadle is tilted a bit? (Not parallel to the edge of the sadle) Also what the distance between the strings and the frets is considered to be good? I am considering getting a guitar from Craigslist (Oscar Schmidt guitar OG2SM - $185 new with tas although the seller refused to send any photos which is strange imo, he only had some from the store showinh 2 different look). I liked the color :)) but did not find a proper video with a demo of that model. Also among more affordable good quality guitars I liked the sound of classical Yamaha cg142s from a few YT videos. But it is cad$399 + tax in a local store without a case and any accessories.

I am not sure. Do you have a luthier in your area that could look at it for you? Thank you for watching and commenting!

So hard to wait to buy the guitar. I don't know anything about guitars though and it's not for me, it's for my son. I found a fender 12 string that looks great according to your criteria but I want someone to look at it that knows guitars and that's the problem I have to wait till tomorrow. I hope he doesn't sell it.

I agree. Hold it in your hands, play it for about an hour, take your time... Very important.

@@alexanderfehr2047 I think they mean if your buying online ie don’t buy one sight unseen. Buy local to purchase directly. So you can touch it and inspect.
