    Here's my round-up review of the 5 Best Electric Guitars Under $200! It was really fun to test these guitars out, and dive deep into all the bits and pieces of each axe!
    Aand OFC, this video has sound samples! Played with the same amp, with same settings!
    Text version of this review: guitaristnextdoor.com/best-el...
    I used Roland Micro Cube GX-amp for sound samples, you can check its latest price on Amazon here: amzn.to/3r32tuk
    After my testing, none of these guitars is a complete NO NO in my opinion, and these axes still surprised me in a good way! And these definitely are nice options for beginners too!

I think the Jackson looks really cool, but in the end after watching your reviews I’m going with the Ibanez for it’s versatility, as I’m just a beginner guitarist and think it’s going to be a better guitar to learn on.

      Well said I have 5 squiers ranging from 249.00 to 479.00 very few mods maybe bridge saddles and one has a Duncan quarter pounder. All I set up with minimal bow in neck 1/16" at least fret for high e,g,b 3/32" for low e,a,d change our some potentiometers and wiring, some pearl aged white Pickgaurds for cosmetic and even the affinity feels like a 500 to 600 dollar guitar.

      @guitaristnextdoor8430  2 роки тому +3

      that Pacifica 012 is the best guitar under $200 with the Ibanez GRX70QA in my opinion. Both are really versatile and easy to play. Ibanez is better with metal, Pacifica gives you more classic rock and blues type of tones because of its single-coils.
      I have a comparison video about those: ua-cam.com/video/6OgcJ8vIvzw/v-deo.html
      Pacifica of course is easily comparable to Squier Bullet Strat HSS.... Squier has brighter Single-coils and gives some of that Fender Stratocaster magic for you. Pacifica 012's are more consistent with quality due to my experienced and Pac012 is also a bit more versatile IMO😎👍

      @guitaristnextdoor8430  3 роки тому

      I was actually going to include it in this video, but it was out of stock back then. but I have still played one in music store😎
      It offers brighter tones than Les paul, but warmer than Strat with 3 single coils.
      and I personally like the playability of Tele more than LP's, because it enables you to reach upper frets easier😊
      but humbucker tones of LP's are really warm and full, and work better with distortion👌plus, LP's strings are easier to press down because of shorter scale

      I would try to find a guitar with both humbuckers and single-coils, like Ibanez GRX70QA or maybe this Yamaha PAC 012, both are really versatile😎
      but ofc, choose which sounds best to you
      here's my review of Yamaha Pac 012: ua-cam.com/video/D7hEUVimp80/v-deo.html

      It doesn't have single coils, it has humbuckers(2 pickups and both those have two coils). 😎 In this video Ibanez has single coil in the middle and Squier has 2 single coils (neck and middle)
      but at least on live performances, Pixies have acoustic guitar and less paul with humbuckers😎don'y know which guitars they used when recording it tho....
      😮
      you can play that kind of music with Jackson without sounding too bad, but we have to remember that it is a metal guitar😊

    • @guitaristnextdoor8430

Tuners seem to be the same as with Les Paul, so those are probably the worst thing with that SG too, but those below-average tuners didn't ruin the guitar completely for me. 😎👍

      Forgot to highlight this in the video, but ofc, this video and axes on this price range are for beginners, but still, sorry!
      I think that sound wise the Ibanez gives you most, ofc if metal is your thing the Jackson JS22 would be my choice.
      But otherwise, Ibanez. Playability wise, Ibanez and Jackson and, Squier maybe fit beginners the best. But of course this depends on so many factors that it's hard to say which is the best for you.
      It really depends on what you want to play, Metal=Jakson, Everything=Ibanez, Rock, Jazz, Funk with slightly cheaper price and some Fender mood=Squier.

      it's true that cheap floyd roses can be a bit undependable sometimes. I would say that floyd rose is worth it if you really want an floyd rose...if not, buying the JS22 dinky is smarter.
      btw. when I answered you previously, the non-floyd rose JS32 was actually in my mind, it offers quilted maple looks and a different bridge, but no tremolo arm: www.jacksonguitars.com/gear/shape/dinky/js-series-dinky-arch-top-js32q-dka-ht/2918809585 ,
      but if your budget is around $300, getting a JS22 and upgrading pickups is a great option, that's for sure👌 JS22 is one of the most upgradable guitars under $200 that I have played because my copy felt so good to play, and it had that feel of a more expensive guitar.😎

      But according to ESP site, only real difference between EC-10 and MH-10 is the body shape. Same pickups, same body woods, same tuners, and same neck shape. So those are tonally pretty much identical, so this video gave you a good idea about the tones of that.

    Buy the best structural $200 Guitar and spend $200 on new part or another Electric Guitar and put all the best part together?
    $400 is my limit atm.
    I spent $2600 on my Acoustic/Electric so I gotta save alittle. Lol

      thanks for commenting!😊👍
      right now, with my limited time, I would just buy around $400 electric and rock with it. But buying a cheaper one and upgrading it a bit can work very well too.
      buying a $400 electric is easier and saves time
      buying $200 guitar and upgrades can get you a unique axe that sounds like you want. but all this takes time with researching and installing upgrades.
      Personally, I wouldn't bother buying 2 guitars to mix the best parts of both, you still end up with 1 around $200 guitar, and 1 pretty bad guitar😎
      curious...what electric-acoustic did you get?

      I answered that question on the video...but anyway...in my opinion:
      Ibanez is best overall for versatility
      Jackson is best for metal

    How come you pronounce the word "guitar" differently than how us americans say it? Are you German? Swedish? No offense just curious is all 😘

      I'm from Finland and the way of pronouncing letters how they are pronounced here has sunk deep into my brain haha😂😅maybe I'll learn...
      ''guitar'', ''all'', and, ''almost'' are especially impossible to pronounce correctly if I don't focus on the pronounciation😅

    Would have been better, if host didn't start out sentences nice and strong, but in most cases, his commenting volume level falls down into little more than muttering. Hard to understand comments at that level. As an American, I also struggled with his accent, when his speaking level falls way low. I am not racist by any means, I salute anyone who speaks multiple languages. Ir shows intelligence at a higher level. I'm only commenting on his speaking levels. Needs to be more consistent. ALSO, most important! he needs to listen to his recordings. If he doesn't like to do that, why should anyone else?

    Your voice is dropping at the end of your sentence, cannot understand what you are saying, whispering
