When buying a blues guitar, one should first think carefully about how the sound should sound like, or what guitar had a favorite guitar player. Which nothing is more annoying when you do not hinbekommt the good Stevie Ray Vaughan Sound, just because you bought the wrong guitar.
Actually, the choice of blues guitar is only one thing: Fender or Gibson? These two brands have shaped the guitar world and divided into two great camps. The two differ not only externally, but especially in sound. Primarily responsible for the sound of the pickups (English pickups) are. In so-called Gibson humbuckers are used that are pickup with 2 coils, while Fender primarily incorporates sog.Single coils are that pickups, which consist of a single coil.
Thus, the Les Paul and their near and distant relatives, the epitome of fat humbucker. Start the other hand, was more open, bluesy single-coil Zerrsounds and typical, wiry Stratsound clean.
Of course, this separation (= single coil Fender, Gibson Humbucker =) soon repealed and various Stratocaster guitar is a hybrid switching from SC and H.B. used, for example in the artist signature models from Iron Maiden and Eddie Van Halen.
Subsidiary companies: both Fender and Gibson have subsidiaries, the licensed reproductions of the original expensive guitars make. These offer very often a lot of quality for little money. Gibson guitars are built under license by the Epiphone company that rival the originals in price-performance in anything. Fender sells its cheapest models under the label Squier.
Of course you should buy a guitar in front of the most remarkable calm both brands, but also the sound of your favorite guitarists can I be a help. If you want to sound like SRV, shall ye you do not buy Gibson.
