Finding a top-notch electric guitar doesn’t mean **breaking the bank**. Many budget-friendly guitars out there offer **fantastic sound** and durability without **costing a fortune**.

If your budget is under 200, you may be surprised at the quality and range of electric guitars available to you.

From the type of wood used in the construction to the pickups, hardware, and even the finish, each element contributes to the overall performance and feel of the guitar.

This article will help you find the best electric guitar for under 200, and I’ll let you know which guitar I suggest to my students who are starting out…

Table of Contents

What to Expect in a Guitar Under 200

In a guitar under £/$200, you can expect basic functionality and entry-level quality. It may have laminate construction instead of solid wood, lower-quality hardware, and less attention to detail in the finish.

Sound and playability might be satisfactory for beginners, but experienced players may find limitations.

Consider upgrading components over time to enhance performance.

Entry-Level Quality Electric Guitar

Material and Build Quality

Guitars in the under 200 price range often feature more affordable materials that may not be of the highest quality. Typically, you can expect the body to be made from laminated wood or lower-grade tonewoods.

The construction might not be as precise as higher-end models, leading to potential issues with durability and stability. However, some manufacturers have improved their quality control and offer decent builds at this price point.

Electric Guitar On A Budget

Sound Quality

Expectations for sound quality in guitars under $200 should be tempered with realism. While these guitars can produce sound and may suffice for beginners or casual players, they might lack the depth, richness, and sustain of higher-end models.

The cheaper tonewoods and construction methods can produce a somewhat muted and less vibrant sound. Additionally, the hardware and electronics (if it’s an electric guitar) might not be of top-notch quality, affecting the overall tone and performance.

Sound Quality Of Budget Eclectic Guitar

Dos and Don'ts of Buying a Guitar Under 200

Dos:
  • Play before purchasing: Always try the guitar before buying it. Assess how it feels in your hands, how comfortable the neck is, and whether it suits your playing style.
  • Research reviews: Look for online reviews and feedback from other users who have bought the same model. This can give you valuable insights into the guitar's strengths and weaknesses.
  • Check for defects: Inspect the instrument thoroughly for any visible defects, like cracks, sharp fret edges, or loose hardware. A small blemish might be acceptable, but major flaws can negatively impact playability and sound.
  • Consider second-hand options: Buying a used guitar can be viable in this price range, as you might get a higher-quality instrument for the same budget.
Don'ts:
  • Overlook setup and playability: A well-set-up guitar can make a significant difference even in this price range. Avoid guitars with overly high action or intonation issues, as they can be challenging to play.
  • Prioritize aesthetics over quality: While looks are essential, prioritize the guitar's build and sound quality over its appearance. A visually appealing guitar might not necessarily sound best sounding or playing.
  • Neglect the return policy: Check the seller's return policy and warranty terms before purchasing. If the guitar doesn't meet your expectations, you can return or exchange it.
  • Expect high-end features: Understand that a guitar under $200 will likely lack premium features like top-tier pickups, high-end hardware, or intricate inlays. Keep your expectations realistic for the price range.
