Althou

The very famous Rickenbacker electric guitars that are quite popular actually came from a prototype developed by two men called George Beauchamp and John Dopyera. In an attempt to make louder guitars, they experimented quite a bit before they ended up attaching electro-magnetic pickups with two horseshoes. Beauchamp took it to Adolph Rickenbacker and both formed a well known manufacturing company. Many used guitars for sale today are Rickenbacker guitars. 

Exciting Used Guitars for Sale

The ES-150  

Another guitar maker ‘Gibson’ also has a great deal of history when it comes to electric guitars – whether new or used guitars for sale. Orville Gibson created the first modern electric guitar – the ES-150, which took the guitar-ing world by storm. The prototype for the WS-150 was developed by Alvino Ray and the final version built by Walter Fuller, another Gibson employee. The ES-150, although the first of its kind, had its own share of flaws. Its hollow body produced vibrations that were amplified, creating feedback and distortion. From here came the full body electric guitar in 1940, developed by Les Paul. Today, all electric guitars are solid body guitars.

First Solid Body Electric Guitar

Paul’s guitar had a solid body, and the strings and pickup were mounted on a block of solid pine. When Gibson saw the design, he wasn’t sure it’d work. However, Leo Fender immediately saw what Gibson had missed and began producing the ‘Esquire’ based on Paul’s design. The ‘Esquire’, later renamed the Telecaster, became the most famous electric guitar of the time and was a hit with country, rock n roll, and blues. Inspired by this, Gibson went on to produce a solid body guitar too, and it was called the ‘Les Paul.’ Both Gibson and Fender are well known manufacturers of electric guitars today, and their instruments are even popular as used guitars for sale.

From 1960 onwards, electric guitars became an integral part of music composition. Many changes were also introduced in the design. For example, Gibson introduced special type of pickups that eliminated the ‘hum’ from magnetic coils. They called them the ‘humbucking’ pickups. Along with this a semi hollow body guitar was introduced by McCarty – the ES 335, which incorporated the good of both — acoustic and electric. Most of the used guitars for sale today have these changes incorporated. Significant changes in design were also made, especially by Fender in the Stratocaster and by Gibson in Gibson SG. Both guitars are also highly popular used guitars for sale. To learn & see more used guitars for sale, visit http://www.woodyguitars.com

The kind of wood used for making a guitar must be given special consideration while buying used guitars for sale as this will ultimately reflect on the quality of the instrument. The wood will determine to a great extent the kind of sound it will create. Different kinds of wood resonate differently, accentuating the vibrations in a specific manner.  Used guitars for sale will also cost more or less, depending on the wood used. The wood also determines how long the guitar will last, especially in the case of used guitars for sale.

Different Guitar Wood Types

Sitka Spruce

Sitka spruce is widely used for soundboards since it is quite stiff and lightweight. Notes played on Sitka soundboard retain their clarity when played with force. While its fundamentals are strong, the overtones however tend to lack, thus producing a thin sound when played lightly. Sitka-made used guitars for sale are a favorite with players who require a robust sound.

Red Spruce

Red spruce has all the advantages of Sitka spruce without the shortfalls. It has strong fundamentals and resonates with great clarity when played loudly. It also has a complex mix of overtones that produces a full, rich sound even when played softly. It is stiffer and slightly heavier than spruce, giving it a high velocity of sound. When you are considering checking out used guitars for sale, a red spruce is well worth its money.

Alder

Alder is a lightweight wood and when used in guitar tops it produces good resonance. The resonance makes the sound produced highly rich. If you’re buying used guitars for sale with an alder top, you will get its best performance while playing the lower mid range.

Poplar

Poplar is popular choice in solid-body electric guitars. Because the wood is dense and stringy, it produces a crisp sound which, on an electric guitar, creates a funky or a crisp sound. If you prefer a clean sound and single-coil snap, then poplar wood used guitars for sale are worth a consideration. 

Koa

Koa is a hardwood and has a low velocity of sound, good density but lacks overtones. When purchasing used guitars for sale made of Koa wood, consider that its sound is best at the upper end of the dynamic range and for playing rhythms, much like the slide-playing guitars in Hawaiian music.

Mahogany

Mahogany, like Koa has low velocity and overtone but good density. It produces a good sound at the upper end of the dynamic range. If you consider mahogany topped used guitars for sale, then they produce a ‘punchy’ tone good for playing the blues. If the guitar’s sides and back are built out of mahogany, then it will have a higher density and more overtone coloration. The sound produced, thus, will have accentuated bass and treble. Choose mahogany full body or top accordingly.

Maple

Although Maple is better suited for electric guitars, such acoustic used guitars for sale are found in plenty. It produces a flat sound being a heavier wood and having a lower sound velocity. The west coast big leaf maple is quite popular with guitars since it is the lightest maple and also a ‘curly’ maple i.e. its fibers are wavy and allow for more vibrations. If maple is used for acoustic guitars, the sound tends to be transparent thanks to the low velocity and high internal damping. Therefore, in acoustic maple used guitars for sale, the tonal characteristics of the soundboard will be heard as they are, without any coloration coming from the wood.

Brazilian Rosewood

Brazilian rosewood has a high sound velocity and produces a broad range of overtones. This gives Brazilian rosewood guitars high scope for tonal coloration. Brazilian rosewoods have strong mid and high and thus the upper notes tend to be rich and full. If you buy used guitars for sale that are made of Brazilian rosewood, then expect a lot of clarity in the bottom and ‘sparkle’ in the top notes.

Indian rosewood

The Indian rosewood produces effects very similar to the Brazilian rosewood since it shares many of the traits, namely: high sound velocity, significant tonal coloration, strong high and mid notes, strength and complexity in the bottom notes. If looking among used guitars for sale, remember that the Indian rosewood helps fatten up the midrange when used in the neck.

Basswood

Guitars made of basswood give an excellent response in the low end. It is light, stiff and stable. In case you are a bass player and want something that is more specific for your needs, go for basswood made used guitars for sale.

Used Guitars for Sale- How Important is the Wood?

The tone coloration of a guitar depends a great deal on the wood used. However, one cannot ignore other factors like design, maker and the precision and quality of skill. Selecting the right kind of wood, however, will go a long way in ensuring that you get the kind of tone you require. Thus, knowing beforehand which wood produces what change in tone will help you make a better selection.

Basic Facts

Initially acoustic-electric guitars were no different than acoustic guitars, but for an additional magnetic pickup installed in the sound hole or the neck joint. If you do find such used guitars for sale, it will not be a good bargain since these produced quite poor acoustic sounds as the pickup was unable to keep up with the complex high frequency overtones that acoustics are capable of producing. So although the acoustic electric guitar fulfilled the purpose of amplification, it compromised on its function as an acoustic guitar.

Acoustic-Electric Used Guitars for Sale

If you find one of the Ovation acoustic electric used guitars for sale, then you can safely go for it. Ovation produced guitars with the piezoelectric bridge pickup. While the previous microphones and other techniques only amplified the volume, piezos amplified the actual vibrations from the sound board and the entire body, and thus made the amplified sound ‘real’ and more natural. After Ovation many other acoustic-electric guitars were made that had better designing and delivered the acoustic sound much better when amplified. You will find acoustic electric guitars by many different makers, each with their own variations.

The biggest advantage of having a good acoustic-electric guitar is the two way benefit you have of being able to play at really high volumes. This is quite a plus, especially fit for live performances or parties, and yet retain the overtones characteristic of an acoustic. This is true of a brand new instrument or even one of the used guitars for sale that are of the premium brands. Most of all, you don’t have to rely on a microphone for recording. You just plug the guitar directly in the console and thus all the excess noise is shut out. If you think that an acoustic-electric guitar is right for you, considering used guitars for sale is a safer option as you can save money and also get a better instrument than what you could have initially afforded.

Playing Ease

If you’ve decided to go for electric used guitars for sale, you will realize that minimal effort is required while playing it as compared to acoustic guitar. This is because the sound is amplified electronically, so you don’t have to create volume by plucking very hard. Light plucking can also produce the required sound. The strings themselves are lighter and closer to the frets so pressing down on them is easier. It has a smaller body and neck so holding is very comfortable.

With acoustic used guitars for sale, the sound must be produced by strong plucking. Because the sound must be produced by the guitar alone, the strings are heavier and a little away from the frets. They must thus, be pressed down with some effort. Acoustic used guitars for sale are larger and their necks are heavier. Therefore standing and playing might be difficult.

Sound

When it comes to sound, different people have different opinions as to which one is better; acoustic or electric, regardless of whether they are brand new or used guitars for sale. Fanatics of the acoustic will tell you that no electric can produce the clarity and fullness of an acoustic and that with an electric, sound is mostly lost or not as original as it should be. However, understand that this sound needs a lot of effort and pressure to produce.

Those who’ve been playing electric for a long period of time will tell you that electric guitars can provide awesome amplification and produce with ease the sound effects during recordings and performances that would be very difficult to achieve with the acoustic ones. Also fusing the sound of an electric guitar with other instruments is extremely easy. It is up to you to decide what kind of sound you prefer from used guitars for sale.

Convenience and Low Maintenance

The reason for opting for used guitars for sale is obviously to own a good guitar for less. Thus if you do not want to spend too much, then an acoustic is your best bet. You will not need any additional equipment to play the guitar. Just pick it up and start playing. Also add the fact that you can sling it across your neck and carry it around wherever you want, whenever you want. This is something an electric guitar will not give you.

Although the idea of buying used guitars for sale is saving money, an electric will involve additional expenditure on amplifier, pickups and cables. Also you will need power supply to play it, so it’s definitely not something you can take to camp. However, if you’re into playing professionally, or wish to create some real music pieces, then electric used guitars for sale will be the cheapest way to go about doing it. You can do incredible stuff with loops, amplifiers, and pedal stations.

Price

Quality comes at a price. Used guitars for sale are obviously cheaper than brand new ones. However, even among used pieces, an electric will be double the acoustic. This is mostly because the electric is a much better professional guitar. However, on no account must used guitars for sale be purchased only on the merit of their cost alone.

Conclusion: Acoustic v/s Electric Used Guitars for Sale

Finally it is your requirements that will decide which guitar you would buy, and not the advertisements from the store. Along with your likes, also consider how you will be using the guitar, whether you will be playing it just about anywhere, or you’re likely to be jamming with your band. If you’re going to be using it for both, consider which requirement you would like to fulfill by buying one from used guitars for sale. Consider all of this, and then decide what kind of guitar you want to spend on.

Technorati Tags: Acoustic vs. Electric Guitars

Buying an electric guitar can be a great experience for an electric guitar lover, regardless of the fact that it might be one of the used guitars for sale. However, it can also get very confusing and hence some ground rules apply here as well. Whether you’re buying a brand new one or going for used guitars for sale, you will need to pay attention to two things: Price and Sound. The price for used guitars for sale will definitely be lesser than a brand new guitar, however when it comes to sound, it’s the design and make of guitar that matters as well as the quality of the amplifier.

When it comes to cost, as a beginner and someone looking for used guitars for sale, you will be better off buying a starter kit for beginners that comes with the guitar, amplifier and learning material. You will find a wide range of prices over the internet and in shops once you’ve decided what kind of used guitars for sale you want.

Types of Electric Used Guitars for Sale Available:

There are four types of electric guitars and they all produce different kinds of sounds and are used for different purposes.

1)     Acoustic-Electric Guitars: These are acoustic guitars that can be plugged into an amplifier to work as electric guitars as well. They have pickups installed for this purpose. These are good first time used guitars for sale to pick up if you will be traveling while playing in a band.

2)     Electric Guitar: These are solid body guitars which amplify the sound produced by the strings through pickups and an amplifier. They are the most popular type and are available for as low as $99. Most electric used guitars for sale come with an amplifier like the Gibson or Fender kits.

3)     Hollow Body Electric Guitars: These works exactly like the solid body guitar. The only difference is that they have two chambers cut out inside the body that produce more resonance, combining the tone of an acoustic guitar with an electric one. They are quite popular in Jazz music, and will be easily available as used guitars for sale in different tones and sizes.

4)     Steel Guitars: These are completely different in design and it takes a good amount of training before you can begin to play this one, so they might not be very good for your first-time used guitars for sale experience. The guitar is worn around the back as opposed to around the neck and its strings are set higher from the fretboard than in other guitars. This allows the players to use a tone bar which is like this cylindrical tube worn on the fret hand. When the guitarist presses down on the strings with the tone bar it creates the ‘twang’ sound.

Get a Good Amplifier

Another thing that tends to be ignored is a good amplifier. You might be going for used guitars for sale, but that doesn’t mean you buy a substandard amp. A good or bad amp makes all the difference in how your guitar will sound. Most first time buyers, especially kids, will go in for the $100 Fender Frontman type 15G amps. This is not such a good idea, even if you bought used guitars for sale that don’t cost half as much as your amp. These amps produce a very tolerable if not downright bad sound. When you’re just beginning to learn, this can be quite a dampener since you end up thinking you’re no good at the guitar. Also they can barely be heard if you’re going to play in a band or at a performance.

Although you don’t have to spend thousands on the amp, especially if you’ve one of the used guitars for sale that costs about $50, a decent amp will ensure you sound better even on an average guitar. What’s more, it’ll last till you’ve outgrown the used guitars for sale that you bought and will be good even when you get brand new ones. When buying an amp check for these: 3-band EQ at least, a clean channel, an overdrive channel, reverb and if possible some ‘presence’. Although you might not find all of these in an amp that doesn’t blow away the money you saved buying used guitars for sale, look for as many of the above as possible. As a beginner, the Fender Pro Junior is pretty good in these terms. It’s got no EQ or reverb but great sound quality and volume. More than enough for a beginner on used guitars for sale. Also remember that amps are of two types: the tube and the transistor. Try out the BuddyHawke.com site for a good explanation on the two.

Nothing beats testing when it comes to buying amps. Try out many amps at different volumes with and without the reverb, overdrive and with your guitar as well. IT is especially important to try out with your guitar if it’s one of the used guitars for sale. Most store managers will let you do all that. It’s a great idea to try out the amps locally and when you’ve finalized one, buy it on the online store at http://www.woodyguitars.com and also check out our used guitars for sale.
