In Austin, Texas for Crossroads, hosting the livestream, demonstrating gear and generally causing mayhem… with one small problem: I didn’t have a guitar. Time for some emergency guitar shopping!
Join me at Guitar Center in Austin as I try a variety of electric guitars, including a Gibson SG, Ibanez JEM, Greets and a PRS SE!
I’m constantly asked what to look for when buying a guitar, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to show you how I choose one while actually buying one for myself. A shopping trip and a practical guitar-buying guide rolled into one.
Huge thanks to the unbelievably helpful staff at Guitar Center Austin. They restrung the guitar for me and, knowing I needed to fly home with it, even offered me a selection of cases to consider instead of the soft case it came with. You guys rock!
What’s the first thing YOU look for when buying a guitar? Let me know in the comments.
