how much dose it cost to get a right handed gutiar turned in to a lefthanded guitar?
828036
Actually,you could do like Hendrix did with his right handed Stratocaster guitar and just flip your guitar around like you hold it (which would technically be upside down),and restring the strings so that your fat "E" is on top ! EADGB  This may work ,till you can get a lefty .Your knobs may be at the top of guitar now ,but you should still be able to jam ! :o)

Hey, first off electric guitars are not too pricey...if you go to a music store, you can get one for around 200 dollars(im not sure how much that is in malaysian currency, but it shouldnt be too much there)...Personally, For your first Guitar, I recomend a Fender acoustic...(thats what I got, and its great)...But after you learn, you should probably get an electric guitar; I suggest a Fender, Yamaha or Gibson(Fenders the cheapest cost, but great quality)...and In answer to your question, Guitar is usually played chord by chord, but depending on what song youre playing, sometimes its played note by note (usually for scales and leads or solos)...Bass guitar though, is ALWAYS played note by note to accompany rythm guitar...and as for learning, usually, its best to take classes...the one on one instructions are very helpful and faster than learning on your own... personally its helped me...I learned guitar in two months(But alot of great guitarists have taught themselves how to play...Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, just to name a few)...But you should know that there are some awesome classes you can take on the internet... and knowing how to play other instruments also helps alot (I play guitar and piano)... also, you can buy playing guides and DVD lessons at the music store where you buy your guitar...and whatever guitar you choose to get, I suggest getting a chord dictionary (they have chord chart books and electric chord charts...the book is cheaper, but the elecrtic has more features), also a guitar tuner, a strap, Gig Bag, extra strings, picks, string winder and cutter  and an amp chord (if you get an acoustic/electric combo or an electric)...usually all those things come in the package with your new Guitar (and an amp too, if you go electric),along with the DVD...As for tips; PRACTICE,  PRACTICE PRACTICE...and all you need to play guitar well is Memory, Ears, Fingers, and a passionate love for music (and Im betting we both have all of those things), and youll do great...

You sound like you are after a beginner's guiitar, do the following:\n\n1)Take a guitar lesson (anywhere between £15-£25 an hour usually, depending on where you live) and look on the net to find how to play the major choards, but in particular a G major, F major, any major barre chord, and a B minor.\n2) Have another few lessons and learn the pentatonic blues scale 1st position (sound difficult, but it isn't and your instructor should make it clear) + play the chords again.\n3) Go into a guitar shop and try playing what you've learnt on - A Stratocastor, a Les Paul, an SG, an Ibenez and then any other you like the look of or they recommend.\n4) Spend a good chunck of time playing each until you find one that feels comfortable.\n\nYou should have a good idea of whick one to buy now, the other major consideration is the sound you're after though. Basically Humbuckers = Rock/Metal, Single Coil pickups = better for softer, cleaner sounds.\n\nDiscuss this with them at the shop and mail me or ask on here again if in any doubt.\n\nPeople band names about like Fender and Gibson, and to some degree they are right, but I'd never buy a guitar I'd not played. I owned a modified Gibson Studio worth £700 but traded it in for an Epiphone Les Paul standard that I now gig with and to me it is better.\n\nRemember, Slash's main guitar is a hand built one by a now dead guitar maker, he bought around 50 odd £1000+ guitars and still never found one he liked as much.

I had a guitar custom hand-built to my specifications (Les Paul model) by an expert and it cost me $5000. It's a fucking beauty though. And yeah, everything is hand-made. Best resonance I've ever heard on a guitar. Mmmm...I better go and play.\n\nA factory built guitar probably doesn't have a high production cost since machines do a lot of the work and they are mass-produced...you can get cheap guitars for like $100 or so, so I'm assuming, even for a Fender (American Standard, which is about $700+) it won't be more than about $100 or so. Gibson is a different league...a Gibson Les Paul uses very good wood normally which is quite expensive itself.

My advice:  I wouldn't go PRS, but I wouldn't go Squier, either...  \nIf you are truly just starting, get a good middle-of -the-road piece. I don't know what your budget is, but I'd stay somewhere around the $500 range.  Get a guitar that will last you into your first gig, if that's your aspiration.  I've seen a lot of guys try to save money early on by buying low-end equipment (whether it be guitars, amps, cabinets...) and, 9 times out of 10, they will become disappointed with their choices, and sell it or trade it.  Either way, they would've been better off waiting and saving their money for something that would've lasted longer than 6 months to a year.\n\nGood luck...\n\np.s.  giantdwarfbat:  You make a good point, but did it occur to you that the 'helpful' sales rep may just want you to buy a piece of **** just so you would come back when it was time to upgrade?  Believe me, I've seen it a hundred times.  Musician sales reps only 'really' help two kinds of people.  Repeat customers,... and other musicians.

Frankly, with a CB5 kit the parts will probably end up costing the retail sale price on a new CB5 kit.  (That should be around $370.00).\n\nIt may be worth it to you to re-head the kit if you can get cheap parts, otherwise not really.\n\nThe hard part would be waiting to save up the money to get an upgraded quality kit made of impressive wood, while you play a somewhat busted CB5.\n\nYou should probably shop on Musician's Friend.com if you don't have a local, trusted music merchant.

You should first price it online, then go down to your local music store and ask them to order it for you. It will probably cost only slightly more than the online price when you add shipping and handling. The advantage of this is that the local music store should be willing to set it up(adjust truss rod and string height) for free, whereas if you get it online you will probably have to pay to get it adjusted at your local guitar luthier’s.

That guitar was made in Korea by Sound Professional Guitar Company (I'm not kidding), the same people that make Samick and other brands. It was the 198th one made on October 2 1994. They were available from the factory from 1995 to 2000.\n\nAccording to the Electric Guitar Blue Book, the original list price was $729.00, they provide a current value of $500 if new down to $195 in good condition. This means if you were to trade it in, you could expect a value of $250 down to about $100. Selling it straight out to a music store that buys used stuff, you'll probably be offered about $50- $75.

Look in Pawn Shops for used guitars.  Put an ad in the local paper under the wanted section.  Offer to do odd jobs for a guitar.

Go to Guitar Center or your local guitar shop and ask them what they would sell it for. I would choose your local place first, cuz GC might short-change ya.

Hi, \nTry calling B&C Musin Studio in Pittston.  Phone 570-654-4420.  I don't know about prices for any of what you want, but they offer instruments and lessons.  Maybe if you call you can get started by getting some information, and maybe an idea of how to get started with your dream!  Good luck.

I'm afraid you're right. Maxam guitars are made for the cheaper market and some models sell for as low as $79.00. This is cheap for guitars. \nMidas well learn how to play it! ♫♪♫

Your local guitar store should have it. Guitar Center has stuff like that, and most locl places should carry it.

Music is a discipline.How hard it is dependes on how hard you study and practice. A decent first electric guitar like a Jackson or Washburn is about 100 bucks.
