There is no such thing, if I’m being truthful, as the best electric guitarist. The best electric guitar is not the one for you. In my entire life, I have owned over 500 electric guitars. While I loved many of them, there was always the next one. You don’t have to spend more money to get a better guitar. I have owned guitars as high as $4,000, and I’ve had guitars as low as $100. Some of my $100 finds performed as well as customs.
While looking for a Tele in a Chicago music store, I tried 4-5 different models. Each had its own personality. The salesman came to replace a string while I was trying it out. I noticed a Tele body guitar that I hadn’t seen before and I went to check it out. It was a Fame By Hondo. It was a Fame by Hondo. I decided to give it a try and was immediately impressed with the sound. Fenders were expensive at $800 to $900, but the Fame was much more affordable and had a better sound. It also cost $150 less than Fenders.
The best guitar depends on your needs and preferences. Even then, it may not be the best. Two of my custom guitars were sold recently because I found better guitars for a lot less. The Yamaha SG 2000 and SG 3000 vintage models are my favorites. However, they don’t always get the highest praise. A PRS SE EG is currently the guitar that I use most often and take to the studio. It does all I need and it plays well in my hands. They are becoming harder to find these guitars and they are getting more expensive. I bought mine used for $450 and will probably never sell it. It is not the best guitar. It is not the best guitar, but it does give me all I need in a guitar.
