Classical, Acoustic Or Electric?

Choose the type of guitar which best suits the type of music you wish to play. Do not buy a nylon strung instrument simply because it will be easier on your fingers. If you want to play in a band or with a group at some point you will need an instrument that can project, either an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar. These are the types of guitars most commonly used in popular music in the West.

If you are leaning more towards Classical or Flamenco music the choice must be for nylon strings as these styles require it. Guitars for both types are suitable for accompanying singing. If this is the only thing you want to do, choose the guitar with the sound you prefer.

Musicians turn out in force for grand opening of Something Guitar in Watford

11:33am Monday 15th March 2010

Crowds of music enthusiasts and aspiring rock stars have gathered at the opening of a new store keen to support local talent.

A cerise ribbon, cut by Mayor Dorothy Thornhill signified the opening of Something Guitar, in the North Approach, Watford, on Saturday morning.

Visitors were snapping up bargains, drinking champagne and eating nibbles, while Watford-based singer Roberto Cappellina, from band Go Monaco, sang an acoustic set.

Shop owner Alan Johnson said: “We stock a range of acoustic and electric guitars, and we’re one of the only stockists in the area of Yamaha guitars.

“I’ve worked in the music industry for over 20 years, writing music for adverts and television, so have a lot of experience and feel I’m in a good position to give advice about instruments and the industry.

“Roberto [Cappellina] is doing a great job with his acoustic set today, and I’d definitely consider opening an area of the shop in the future for singers to come in and perform.

“There is a lot of talent in Watford which sometimes gets overlooked for London, but I’m keen to support Hertfordshire bands as much as possible, in fact, since December, I’ve been sponsoring Watford acoustic night The Song Closet.”

Mayor Dorothy Thornhill, who was happily chatting to would-be musicians, said: “I think this is more than just a great new shop in the area.

“It’s putting something back into the community and supporting our local music scene.”

Among the 50 guests at the store opening was organiser of The Song Closet, held at Que Pasa in Watford, Jo Stevens.

Ms Stevens who also performs at the monthly evening, said: “I am so pleased that so many people have turned out today to support Alan [Johnson].

“He has been a fantastic support to our evening and I hope that aspiring musicians will take the time to visit his warm and welcoming store.

“With his wealth of experience in the industry, he really is well placed to give great advice.”

Mr M Isle of Wight

"Hi Alan, thank you for getting my order out so quickly and for pulling out the stops to get my preferred colour. I found the level of customer service excellent and the advice before I purchased my guitar invaluable, it was because of this, that I returned to somethingguitar to make my purchase. You sold me a guitar and not just a cardboard box with a guitar in it, which is something that a lot of retailers have forgotten today. Well done and a big thank you. Personal & Professional, Friendly & Knowledgeable, my first stop from now on will be somethingguitar.com"

Mrs B from

"Just to say i recieved my order Monday as you said i would, and how impressed i am with the efficiency of your service. This package is ideal for a beginner, someone is going to be so pleased at Christmas! "

Mr D -Scotland said

'If you have a feedback area I would be more than happy to give Something Guitar 5 stars. I'm very happy with the purchase. Thanks very much for your help and prompt delivery.'

Mrs Clark from Morcambe Said

‘Fantastic quality of service. From the moment Something Guitar picked up the phone I had great friendly advice and service. I am not an audio expert and I found that I was being treated with a patronising attitude by other companies- Something Guitar really looked after me and I wholeheartedly recommend them!'

Mrs G from Luton

'excellent personal service with very good communications'

Ms S from Herts Said

'My son is absolutely happy and even me was trying to play on it.
The product is nice. Everything as promised and especially delivery on time.
If anyone would need a guitar I will recommend your shop.
Thanks A lot once more
Absolutely fantastic service!
I wish all companies would take your attitude
Have a nice weekend,'

Rob from New York, NY
'Being located in the States, it was difficult to coordinate purchasing a guitar for someone living in Oxford; something guitar made it not only an easy transaction, but even an enjoyable one.  They helped with everything from product selection, to billing, to shipping; I even received a follow-up email asking me if the recipient liked it.  Just a great experience; their customer service is top notch.'

Mr D from Bradford said

'Received fine thanks, my son is well chuffed - great all-in-one package too.'

Mrs C from Derbhyshire said
'my son found your website and it has saved me a whole lot of hassle trying to find the right guitar in the shops and not to mention carrying it home!! The free postage is a welcome addition as so many online shops charge delivery at quite a high price and the use of paypal makes everyone comfortable with ordering from a new website. thanks very much for the brill product, brill price and the brill service.'

Mrs C from Wales said

'I found your company on the web.  I first went on XXX then XXX following recommendations from my son's new guitar teacher. I could not find guitar packs on the XXX: have to search by make - too complex for me.  ....I did a search on guitar packs and browsed through shopping comparison sites.  Amazon did a red like the sunburst for £x: a fantastic price but 1-2 months delivery estimate.  I wanted ours in a week.  Then I searched for Encore guitar packs and came across your site.  When I found I could get both guitars we wanted, that postage was free and that it was immediate you ticked all my boxes.'
