With each coming year, manufacturers of guitars try to surprise us with their new models: sometimes it turns out, but most often no, and the top list of "classics" on sales remains unchanged.

I did not exception and 2017, the best guitar for the price / quality ratio remains Yamaha C-40.

Model C-40 has been headed among the most popular classic guitars for several years - it is inexpensive, but it is simply incredible for its price quality of assembly and materials. Yamaha sometimes experimenting with different rocks of wood used in production, for example, in the title of the guitar, the prefix "II" may appear (this modification is supplied to our market lately). This means that the guitar case is made of Meranti wood, which is ideal for our climate.

Stepping on the heels, after Yamaha, for many years, Hohner HC-06 has already firmly settled in second place. The model is radically different from C-40, which is more to the "Spanish" ideal and most similar to the old strunal factory guitars. We are well remembered since the times of the USSR - this is a massive guitar with a heavy and wide as possible thick neck, generously covered with several layers of varnish.

Barcelona CG11 - Guitar, which has become an ideal option in order to try himself as a musician, and third place in our list. It is inexpensive, while the quality of the assembly is quite good, the tool will not cause a playing rejection and will not allow to be disappointed in music.

The frets will not cut your fingers, and the system is constantly helping "to mink." All of the above will make it possible to understand if you like to play on the guitar at all, and in the event you like to prepare to go to a more expensive tool.

The fourth honorable place we decided to give the ADMIRA A5 model. Guitars are produced in Spain at the ENRIQUE Keller S.A factory. Of very good materials, wood breeds from which guitars are made are selected in such a way that the tool sound is maximally balanced. Admira A5 has crystal clear tops and enveloping velvet bottoms, and the model cannot be called budget, but believe me, for such money is an excellent option.

The fifth place in our top 5 is left for the musical instrument "On slaughter", the so-called "fire" guitar - "Classic", which is not sorry to take with him hike, to the cottage or any other trip. Vision Classic One is a classic guitar that is perfect for the tasks set, it is inexpensive, light and most importantly, strong. At the same time, the tool possesses good quality, not only men can play on it, but also girls, since it is quite soft enough.

In conclusion, I would like to say why our top 5 turned out exactly that, and there are no expensive models. Everything is simple - prestigious guitars are bought much in smaller volumes than those we led in this article. Yes, and the description of the sound of expensive tools will be extremely subjective, but the quality and popularity of the models given in a small review say sales and positive customer feedback.

Play good music, play it on good tools, and our store phospheres will help you with this.

Disputes about what guitar is better not subsidized for several decades, they also discuss where the best electric guitar makes. America, China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Poland, Germany, England, France, and so on, where they do not produce musical instruments today, each manufacturer's country has its own features and differences from others, let's try to figure it out.

It is traditionally assumed that the best electric guitars are produced in the USA, and partly this is the right statement: the American market is the oldest and large, for a long time he simply had no alternative.

If you begin to understand, there are several features, in particular, the Americans have learned very well to take and process the tree, bringing it to perfect condition. That is why the sound of American guitars is very highlighted in a general background and is reference. But at the same time, absolutely all the musical instruments of the United States "suffer" by the presence of a huge number of jambs, even a very expensive Custom electric guitar Much has done carelessly: the grinding pad is poorly glued, the paint or varnish is unevenly applied, and so on. Quality is comparable to Chinese instruments, only sound at a completely different level (one of the perpetual problems of Gibson guitars is noticeable in the photo - almost all tools Kant on the vulture is uneven, it is as if treated).

China is a manufacturer who produce cheap and bad electric guitars, while there are quite a lot of firms from the subway, whose tools can easily compete with the best copies of other countries, but they are tritely lost among all that Aliexpress offers.

After China, the next step is traditionally accepted by Indonesia: the quality of the assembly and materials of the Indonesian electric guitar, although it differs for the better, but because of some features, leaves these tools at the bottom of the rating with the "Chinese".

In general, Indonesian guitars do quite well, especially if we talk about the assembly, but the main minus is the climate of this country. It is radically different from the middle strip of Russia, so all the "Indonesians" coming to our country suffer from frantific frets, curved with unnaturally with griffs and instability. Such defects are explained by saving on drying and stabilization of wood in the manufacture of guitars, and it is also worth saying that in recent years, Indonesian guitars have a price, disproportionate of its quality. Simply put, for this money you can take "America" \u200b\u200bor "Japan" (in the photo of the guitar began to get out the frets and peel into the rich on the grief).

The transitional option between the lower and high class is traditionally taken to be Korean electric guitars, Koreans always did them well. The guitars fully correspond to their prices and quality of manufacture, and sound.

In the highest league are the tools produced in the United States and Japan, US production we have already described at the beginning of the article, now it is necessary to describe the Japanese manufacturer. Buying an oriental instrument, you get quite expected to the highest quality assembly and sound, and in recent years, Japan has generally advanced in guitar production. It is not only no worse than "Americans", but sometimes it is better, and continues to conquer the guitar market.

Separately, all the manufacturers from Europe are located, describe "European electric guitar" - the case is not easy. All complexity in the formation of a general image of these guitars is a huge variety of factories and individual crawls, because of which it turns out too much variation both in terms of quality and the cost of tools.

The bulk of European guitars is easily described by the words "unreasonably expensive", the author of the article communicated not with one dozen representatives of factories or individual masters, most of them could not even describe how the tree is processed from which their tools are processed.

They simply bought already twisted hulls on third-party factories, and not on specialized enterprises, while the price tag for each guitar was just wild (2500-4500 euros). Probably, it is not worth telling what level the tool will be for the same money from the famous American or Japanese manufacturer.

But the second part of European manufacturers produce truly unique tools, they are not so much, they include Framus, Mayones, Ran, Ruokangas, and that's it. Ran and Mayones guitars have a very recognizable "Americanized" sound, and a bias is made on heavy music styles. German Framus and Finnish Ruokangas is not similar to anything, if you can say, are "pearls" among the guitars. They will fit and do not like everything, the sound of the tools is too unusual.

All four firms can be said: these are excellent tools of the highest quality, 100% justifying their cost.

At the end, I would like to make some refinements in the text: in this article, the collective image of the electric guide is given, and if you are just wonderful in all respects French Vigier, this does not mean that all guitars from this company are worth the money that they ask for them.

Perhaps the Japanese firm Yamaha is the most popular manufacturer of musical instruments. Flutes, guitars, drums and much more can be found in any music store. Guitars with this are usually quite high quality due to the fact that the manufacturer uses a good tree, but also the material is manually selected. Add to this true Japanese scrupulsiness - and you will understand that the love and respect of musicians this firm has not won by no accident.

Not only the guitars of this company are used by good fame, but also brass tools.

"Ibanes"

Guitars with this brand are also found in stores quite often. This is an old firm with a solid reputation. True, Ibanez power tools enjoy a little greater demand than acoustic, especially the most popular bass guitars, but also acoustics. This manufacturer releases a good. If you are just starting to learn to play - you will not find better tool.

Ibanez guitars make mahogany, and the lining is most often rosewood. So the guitar not only sounds, but also looks beautiful.

Gibson

Gibson is a worldwide recognized guitar brand. The company produces instruments for real professionals, and it is Gibson guitars enjoy the greatest demand from the stars. These tools are particularly rich in sound. In addition, judging by the reviews of musicians, play them very convenient.

"Epi Phone"

Epiphon guitars also enjoy a kind reputation. The company itself is a subsidiary of the famous company Gibson Corporation. Acoustics with the brand Epiphon are no worse than the tools that the head firm produces, but it is much cheaper. These guitars are made from high-quality materials, they are extremely comfortable and sounded well. Good and this company.

Squire.

Squire guitars are very suitable. The case is characterized by a special strength, but at the same time the guitar sounds good. Products of this company are positioned in the global market of musical instruments as designed for beginners. Such a guitar just perfectly suits the student of the music school. In addition, it should be inexpensive.

Other firms

In stores you can find both guitars of other manufacturers - Japanese, Korean, Canadian. Recently, Czech and German guitars have become less popular, once loved by Soviet musicians. They are produced in smaller quantities, but quality is not inferior to the best world brands. So if you see in the store (more often by commission) "Cremona" - do not pass by, this is a guaranteed good tool. And, of course, the possibility of guitar can always order a master who has an appropriate reputation. And not always the order guitar will cost more than the one in the store.

If you decide to learn how to play a guitar rock, then your swim in the world of music, one way or another, will begin with the purchase of acoustic or electric guitar. Now there are quite many different manufacturers, types and lines of guitars for each of them. Already, sometimes, the eyes scatter. I will touch the question of choosing a guitar in the following articles, but now let's look at ten of the best guitars in the world, in the sound of which you can be more than confident. After all, it is not enough to know a couple of simple chords, to learn the pentatonic boxes, be able to take Barre, or own several options for replacing the chord F, you need to have a good, reliable tool. Guitar, which not just sounded perfectly, but also corresponded to your chosen music style.
