right, this is a little information for anyone wondering if theyre playing the right guitar, if theyre playing the right guitar for their genre or just generally want to know a few decent guitars.

your guitar should fit comfortably in your hands, and the neck should be comfortable. Depending on your style of playing, you should look for an electric guitar with enough upper fret access for you i.e. if you play alot of metal, you probably want 24 frets that you can get to easily.

right then, there will be others that i dont mention, but im only human =]

right. that should give any beginners a few ideas to look around on genre wise. Now, what about perosnal preferences?

if you have big hands, you might want a thick neck, alot of les pauls and les paul remakes have fairly thick necks, also there are a few PRS guitars with faily thick necks. Alot of acoustic guitars are thick in the neck, but im clueless with acoustics thats why im trying to stick to electric here.

Left handers can have a few problems finding guitars. i am left handed but i play righty because i always found it easier, plus loads mroe guitar models to choose from.


Lefty?
most epiphones come in left handed models
ESP F series come in lefty i believe
Squire strats, teles jagmasters etc.
BC Richs
Jacksons (i think )

Weights?
some people prefere heavier guitars, some prefere featherweights..here 2 lists to show a few examples...

Light?

i hope this helps any beginners wondering if their guitar is right for their preferences etc. or if your just looking for a guitar that suits your preferences
