Popular Accessories to Buy with Your Used Guitar
A new guitar may come with some accessories included in the
price (such as a special case, or a set of strings), but if you opt for a
second hand guitar, you must find and purchase separately the accessories you
need.
There are lots of quality used guitars for sale and many accessories as well and they are all
useful. If you are on a budget you should purchase only the important ones.
Here are some of the most popular.
Sets of guitar
strings
The strings are very important accessories for a guitar. A
good guitar may sound bad with some bad strings.
You should always have an extra set of quality guitar
strings, just in case you need to replace them. However you can also purchase
several sets that are not necessarily of the same type, and use them
alternatively, to experiment different sounds. The sound produced by nylon
strings is different than what comes out from metallic strings; additionally,
in the metallic category, strings for acoustic guitars sound different than
strings for electric guitars.
Bags and cases
Your guitar should be protected by being kept in a special
bag, or case.
Picks and straps
Almost all guitar players use these accessories, so you
should definitely have them. Picks are even collection items for some guitar
enthusiasts.
Tuners
You must have at least one tuner, otherwise you will not be
able to make your guitar sounds good. There are digital tuners that make your
life easy, but if you know the notes and some musical theory, you can use a simple
diapason.
