How Much Does a Guitar Cost? Our Price Guide
Classical, acoustic or electric: a guitar's price varies with many factors. Here's how to gauge your budget before buying.
The type of guitar, the first price factor
An entry-level classical guitar is generally the most accessible starting point for beginners. An acoustic guitar (steel strings) sits in a similar range, while an electric guitar also needs an amp, which raises the overall starting budget. A bass guitar follows a pricing logic comparable to the electric guitar.
Price factors within the same category
The woods used (top, neck, fretboard), build and finish quality, the brand, and for electrics, the pickup type and the quality of the electronic components (potentiometers, selector switch) all strongly affect price within the same guitar family.
Budget for accessories
Beyond the instrument, plan a budget for essential accessories: a case, spare strings, a tuner, and for electric guitars, a cable and a small amplifier if you don't already own one.
