What is a good guitar?

Question

Im looking for a good guitar for my kind of style of playing,

I play like rock/ jazz/ maybe some raggae,

my price range is up to around $1,000,

also what are the difference between humbuckers, and single coil? do they sound different? thank you for your answer!

Answer 1

try Craigslist, i saw a one made by Fender- brand new for 350$!!

Answer 2

Gibson is usually for heavy rock.  I would stick to Fender brand, maybe a nice Telecaster or Stratocaster. Single coils create a more deep bluesy sound (Fender is known for this sound), Humbucking pickups create a Heavy rock/metal sound. My stratocaster is an HSS which means it has one humbucker and two single coils. There is a switch i can use to choose which pickups i want to use. This might be the right style for you. Goodluck and happy playing!

Answer 3

Look at some used Paul Reed Smith guitars, I play rock,jazz,blues, etc and with PRS guitars, you can get 15+ tones out of it without ever touching the amp. The most versatile guitars ever.

Answer 4

a guitar made by gibson or fender...gibson les paul?

Answer 5

don't go for the fenders or gibsons if you play any jazz or reggae...

go for an ibanez, they rock and play amazing jazz stuff.

http://www.ibanez.com/splash.aspx that is the ibanez link

this is the guitar i have. and i play in a metal band, and i play jazz for a recording studio...http://www.ibanez.com/eg/guitar.aspx?m=G...

oh and humbuckers create a smoother more clear cut sound (great for precise playing) the single coil pickups just aren't as clear of a sound

hope i helped!

Answer 6

id say maybe a fender telecaster, i dont know a lot about fender though

Answer 7

Donn't get a fender strat, maybe a telecastor. For jazz I'd get a Epiphone Les Paul Custom. I've got one and it's really versitile, but it was made for jazz. It comes with humbuckers not single coil pickups. The difference is humbuckers are a smoother clearer sound.
