Electric Guitar Price: What You Need to Know
An electric guitar's price depends on many technical criteria. Here's what really drives the price, beyond the brand.
The factors that influence price
The type of wood used for the body and neck, the quality and type of pickups (single-coil or humbucker), the quality of the hardware (tremolo, tuning machines), and the brand are the main factors that make an electric guitar's price vary. An entry-level model remains affordable, while a professional model with high-end components represents a significantly larger investment.
A budget to plan beyond the instrument
Unlike an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar needs an amplifier to be heard at a normal volume, as well as an instrument cable. This additional budget should be planned for from the start if you don't already own this gear.

Questions about electric guitar prices
Should I buy the amp at the same time as the guitar?+
It's not mandatory, but it's recommended if you don't already have one, since an electric guitar is barely audible without amplification.
Is an expensive electric guitar always better for beginners?+
Not necessarily: a well set-up entry-level model can work perfectly well for learning; see our article on learning guitar for our advice.
