Many people mistakenly believe that guitars are simple, and in fact, the production requirements for a high-quality guitar are quite high. However, we do not need to overly complicate guitars. With the current industrial level, as long as we strictly follow the selection and production requirements of guitar materials, it is not difficult to produce guitars that meet the quality standards.
For beginners, it is recommended to start from the following aspects, so that the guitar selected will generally be good.
Among the materials used in guitar production, the panel is the most important and directly affects the quality of the guitar. Therefore, when choosing a guitar, we should prioritize the panel and choose spruce veneer if possible.
The impact of the back panel on guitar sound is not as significant as that of the panel. It is best to choose a single panel, and it is also okay to choose a plywood with good materials. Peach blossom core wood and Sabili wood are two materials with good cost-effectiveness and quality, and can be prioritized for selection.
The neck of a guitar can generally be made of several relatively hard woods, such as peach blossom core wood, nadu wood, or antique wood, which can provide good connection and support, and are beneficial for the guitar’s service life and later maintenance.
Of course, the strings, tuning, and workmanship are also important, but as long as the above aspects are good, the guitar is basically not bad. Moreover, it is difficult for beginners to measure the quality of guitar craftsmanship. Starting from the materials of the panel, back panel, and neck is relatively simple and straightforward. The strings are also consumables, and they will definitely be replaced from time to time in the later stage. Just replace them according to your own preferences.
