Hello all!
This is my first post on this forum and I have a few simple questions.
In the past couple of months I have really been getting into guitar playing. I'm 16 years old and have a decent paying job with around a grand AUD saved up. I'm only a beginner but I have a decent Acoustic guitar that I enjoy playing. Now for the first of my questions:
Should I buy a branded guitar as my first electric guitar, or should I buy a body and a neck from Warmoth and the relevant parts?
I listen to mainly metal and the occasional jazz song. I mostly play down-tunings.
Considering the genre and the style of music that I enjoy playing. What type of guitar should I go for? I've been looking at a couple of Warmoth bodies and some of the body styles that have intrigued me include the VIP, Regal, and Soloist. For metal, what wood type should I be looking at?
What specifications of a guitar would you choose for someone like me after hearing my situation?
Seeing everyone's stories and builds on here makes me want to build my own Warmoth guitar but I'm not sure where to start. I'm hoping this is allowed in this category. Thank you!
