Should I pick a guitar by looks or by sound >< should I pick the expensive or the cheaper one !! So many choices !!!
I picked based on both, but I Finally decided what I wanted : neck Thru ,solid mahogany, fixed bridge and a normal headstock. I bought mine knowing the pickups are kinda crappy cause the feel was more important I can swap pups later..
The only thing I suggest is beat the street and play as many guitars as you can you will find the one for you. Read and ask questions about the differences such as bridge types, the wood, necks, fret boards ect.
and as far as money it seems the more expensive one's are always better.
Good luck it took me about 4 weeks
Oh ya I found about 5 others I wouldn't mind having neither
