Ive really started to get back into playing electric stuff recently and Im planning to get a Squier Vintage Modified Tele Custom II P90 Blonde ( http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=04052613043618 <=======This one right here) and replacing the bridge pickup with the fender wide range pickup (found on this guitar here========> http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=09110412325029 ) I understand that the original guitar would require some routing for the pickup to fit, so where in glasgow would I be able to get this done and have the pickup installed and for what price. Also I would like to change the neck to one found on an actual fender tele but I have no idea where i could get one =P

Thanks

The P90 pickups are essentially the same as the ones that you are wanting to put into it. The wide range pickups are a fender version of a large single coil pickup. They are similar to a humbucker but are actually a single coil pickup just wound differently. It is not worth the money to buy the first guitar and totally change it to be similar to the second guitar. By the time you are done it will cost as much as the second guitar anyway so save your money and buy it.

The Best Guitars For Beginners

When you go looking for the best guitars for beginners, take a guitar player with you. Electric guitars could have warped necks or rattling hardware and the beginner guitarist will not have a clue that anything is significantly out of place. Anything can happen to an individual guitar to make it a lemon but it is possible to follow some general guidelines about which brand and model is worth looking at.

You want to play electric guitar and the question of what are the best guitars for beginners arises in your brain. To put it broadly, a decent electric guitar for a beginner is not hard to come by, you just need to know how to look.

There are so many sources of new and second hand guitars, online and offline, through retail outlets and through classified ads, you just need to take a little care in choosing your first guitar. Here are some suggestions that you could carry with you as you go out into the world looking for a starter guitar.

The Squier Affinity Tele. The Telecaster is loved by many guitarists, Albert Lee, Keith Richards and Steve Cropper among them. It grabs the attention with its retro rock n roll looks, backed up by solid construction. The body of the Affinity series is made from alder and the fretboard is maple. This is a good choice for the learner guitar player who wants to look as well as feel the part. You will probably notice some hum but not enough to complain about. The sound you get from this guitar definitely matches the looks, so if you see one, grab it.

The Squier Fat Strat is a moderately priced guitar let down by uneven quality of parts and workmanship. The flashy looks belie the poor quality of construction. Even so, it should serve the beginner guitar player quite well until you are more certain of your musical direction.

The Epiphone Les Paul Special II. The Les Paul guitar is part of rock and roll history. This is a beginner's guitar you can pick up new for not too many dollars. It has a fretboard made of rosewood and a body of alder and maple. The looks of this guitar will inspire you to get you chops quickly so you can deserve to keep playing it.

The Epiphone G-310 SG is a copy of the Gibson SG which is a fairly high-range guitar. The electronics and hardware are where the company saves money but in spite of that, the general opinion amongst guitarists who have given it a try is that it is an excellent beginners model. The sound is fine for absolutely any electric guitar music and the light weight will make you want to play all day.

Now for a low priced acoustic guitar for the beginner. The Yamaha No. 120 Nippon Gakki is a nylon string guitar that you can acclimatize your fingers on, but you just might want to keep it when you move onto an electric. This is another guitar that you should grab if the price is right.
