Choosing which electric guitar to get can be tricky since there are so many varieties to choose from.Free Easy To Learn Guitar Tabs The process of deciding which electric guitar to get can be overwhelming so I plan to give some insight by comparing two of the most popular guitars out there: the Gibson Les Paul Standard and the Fender Stratocaster.

The Gibson Les Paul Standard is one of those guitar that have achieved widespread mass appeal and praise from great guitarists such as Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin and Slash, former guitarist for Guns ‘n Roses. An absolutely drop dead gorgeous guitar the Les Paul has a carved maple top, trapezoid inlays and comes in colors such as Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Desert Bust and a variety of other colors. It comes with Burstbucker pro pickups, rosewood fingerboard, tune-o-matic bridge and gold top hat knobs. This guitar also has a seriously powerful tone and it can scream with ease. This powerful tone comes from the thick mahogany body. The Les Paul also has one of the most playable necks out there and almost anyone can pick one up and feel as though they have owned it their whole life. Those two Burstbucker pro pickups sound amazing and you can easily switch between them with the 3-way toggle switch. It also has two volume knobs as well as two tone knobs, which allows you to have ‘that much more’ control over your sound.

The Fender Stratocaster has probably the most recognizable look and tone out there. The Strat was made famous by Jimi Hendrix who completely changed the way the guitar was played. An absolute showman he is still regarded by many as the greatest guitarist that ever lived. With colors such as black and 3 color sunburst, this guitar is as much a joy to play as it is to look at. Fender also give you a choice between a Rosewood or Maple Neck. Rosewood is said to have more sustain, while the maple neck is said to have a brighter sound. However most people can barely tell the difference between the two. The best thing to do is to go out to you local guitar shop and try each one out for yourself and see which one sounds better to you. The Strat comes with 3 single coil pickups, 2 tone knobs and 1 volume knob.

Both these guitar have their own set of unique characteristics and qualities but both are extremely versatile and can switch easily between jazz, rock, blues and even metal and still sound good. Choosing which guitar suits you is an entirely personal choice but the real pleasure the guitar brings is playing it. Learning the guitar provides an immense amount pleasure to all those who take it up.
