More expensive electric guitars often feature premium components, like hand-wound pickups, which can contribute to a richer sound. However, the difference is subjective and depends on how the guitar plays and feels to you. Ultimately, it’s about personal preference—what sounds best to your ears is what matters most!
The most popular type of electric guitar is the solid-body guitar, known for its versatility across genres like rock, blues, and pop. Iconic models such as the Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul are favourites among players due to their durability, tonal range, and suitability for various musical styles.
When starting out, you’ll need just a few essentials. These don’t have to cost a fortune either: an amplifier, a guitar lead, and, of course, the guitar itself. At Guitar Village, all guitars come fully set up and tuned, so no major adjustments are needed. You may also want a tuner (many smartphone apps work) and some picks. Most guitars also include a protective gig bag, however we also offer different case and gig bag options for all types of guitar.
We do! On the majority of guitars and gear over £400, we offer interest-free and interest-bearing options via V12 Finance.
You can self-calculate the monthly payments on the Guitar Village website via the product pages. V12 finance is easy to apply for, easy to use, straightforward, quick and effective. It is a tool which can enable your next speedy purchase. Find out more about our finance options.
Here at Guitar Village, we understand that it’s vital to feel comfortable with the electric or acoustic guitar of your choice in order to ensure that it meets your needs and requirements prior to purchase. Our sales support team will be available to guide you through the specs of each product and be on hand to get you set up with the instrument, answering any questions you may have along the way. Plus, we will be on hand to present viable, alternative options should you wish.
