It is of course very important to keep in mind how much money you can spend on the instrument. Quality is definitely also worth considering. Low cost is no guarantee that the instrument you are considering is indeed a decent guitar. Do not forget that a cheap instrument loses value faster and reselling it will not work as well as with a more expensive one.

Research is possible with the click of your mouse so make good use of it. Visiting several music stores will also reveal some of the real important aspects you need to know when you want to buy a guitar. Taking somebody with you who has experience with this is definitely a wise decision when you tour the music stores of your city. Do not be overwhelmed by the smooth talking of a sales man at a music store.

Trying the instrument out at an abnormal low volume like most first time buyers do is not the best idea.

Do not bias your decision by playing something you do not like anyway. More knowledge will lead to a better decision. Do not stop and decide too early and even when you think you know what you want it does not mean you are really done with the selection process. Double check all the details of the instrument that is on top of your list by reading reviews.

 

Most musicians plan on keeping a purchased guitar for an extended period of time. Feeling comfortable with it and be able to afford it are necessary. Research is the key if you want to be a satisfied guitar owner.

After a proper investigation is a good idea to check several instruments. The tone will change when the volume setting is too low and make a decision, what you hear, if not based on cuts too low is a recipe for disappointment.

Just wondering (not planning to do unless if I get proof of it being ok) could I possibly use something like Pledge Revitalizing Oil with Natural Orange Oil to condition my fretboard? I’ve always heard that plain Pledge is bad, but what about this stuff? … Now that I’m googling, some people use Pledge to clean their fretboards, then condition with lemon oil. Why does cleaning a guitar (in my case, bass) have to be so complex?!? There is info all over the place of what to do and what not to do, so advice would be appreciated!

Note – in case if any of those is not good for certain types of woods…. One of my basses is a Squier Vintage Modified P-bass.. maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Agathis body (gloss finish) .. relatively new, just needs a little shine.

Another is a vintage Hohner, with bad cosmetic blems on the body, ash body (gloss finished), maple neck, rosewood fretboard. The fretboard has a LOT of wear, so I need a really good conditioner and cleaner!
so does lemon oil clean & condition all in one? just use a tiny bit, rub on, and then use a clean cloth to wipe any excess off i’m assuming?

first evidence i’ve found of anyone using the pledge with orange oil on a fretboard… they had a positive review on it. anyone know about this? it’d be more convenient/cheaper right now than lemon oil since i have it..
