I had to do a little work on mine to get it "perfect", including filing the nut a little bit, setting the intonation, etc. I would recommend getting it professionally set-up. Excuse my singing:Īnd if your boy doesn't like it, you could put that on Facebook and get $75-100 back out of it. Here's what it sounds like.all the lead parts were done with the Monoprice. Here it is with the homebuilt Frankenstrat I put together last summer. Less than $120 on Amazon, so I had room to do a little custom work to it.re-shaped the headstock to look a little more Tele like, swapped out for a tortoiseshell pickguard, etc. I have one of these that I bought for recording to get a Tele sound. Most importantly, if it's a guitar that he likes the look and sound of, he's more likely to play with it, and that's a value all it's own.Īnother good alternative for a beginner is the Monoprice Indio Retro Classic. That Chapman would be fine, but if his interests change, you have $500 tied up in it, and aren't likely to get nearly that back out of it. ![]() ![]() The guy said, "Get him what he's likely to play."įortunately, you can get a decent guitar for a beginner for not a lot of money. I remember when I was picking out the first one, with my dad, and he asked the guy at the music store. I've played in several bands and recorded a bunch of stuff. ![]() That might be reason enough to avoid it.lol.
