Cheap Guitars

Just for fun, I thought I’d start rounding up some listings of cheap guitars. If you’re looking for the cheapest guitars around, we’re going to try to keep them listed here.  If you’re looking for childrens guitars, there are some really cheap ones here as well.

Cheap Guitars

The problem with really cheap guitars or childens guitars is that the strings won’t necessarily stay in tune, the bridge might be out of alignment and the pickups and electronics are not the best quality. You just have to be careful with what you buy.

A guitar for learners or children

That all being said, if you’re not a guitar player but just want a cheap guitar that you can play around with or re-enact the end of a Who concert, these guitars will probably do the trick. Maybe you just want a guitar or bass for your kid. Myself, I am a bass player, so I was never looking for the best quality guitar in the world, so I picked up a cheap knockoff & it works great. I didn’t really need a fender stratocaster or a gibson les paul or anything like that, and I sure didn’t want to spend $1000. I knew I wouldn’t take it on the road, so it does it’s job just for playing around.

Are the cheapest guitars the worst?

Just remember, with a cheap guitar you’re going to get what you pay for, and when you’re buying the cheapest, your mileage may vary.  There are, however some real gems in terms of cheap full-sized guitars and cheap children’s guitars.  Here’s a list of the cheapest guitars that I’ve found on Amazon. I’ll start adding to the list, and if you find the cheapest guitar in the world, please post it here in the comments!

    i really like to get my guitars at a place in fayetteville, but usually can find them cheaper at a thrift or pawn shop.

    My favourite places to find bargain acoustics are high street music stores, many of you may be surprised at this, seen as though I generally advise people to buy their instruments online.
