It&#8217;s an extension of our pre-existing LA, New Jersey, Chicago, Knoxville, and Brooklyn guitar and bass ranges.<\/p>\n<p>Offering our unique take on some classic guitar designs, the aim for Select was to produce a new breed of guitars and basses that are easy to play. They&#8217;re made from premium components, and they&#8217;re suitable for a broad range of playing styles, all whilst being accessible in price.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll explore some of the regular questions that guitarists have about Select Guitars.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;72b2aac8-2a26-4106-af58-67527d130293&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Why are Gear4music Select guitars good for beginners?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_Gear4music_Select_guitars_good_for_beginners\"><\/span>Why are Gear4music Select guitars good for beginners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the things we\u2019re most proud of when it comes to the Select range is that the guitars feel and sound great straight out of the box. This is a key selling point at this price point as it gives any beginner guitarist a solid platform to build on. It allows them to hone their craft without the risk of developing any bad habits as a factor of an improper setup.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;72b2aac8-2a26-4106-af58-67527d130293&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Can professional guitarists and bassists use Gear4music Select guitars?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_professional_guitarists_and_bassists_use_Gear4music_Select_guitars\"><\/span>Can professional guitarists and bassists use Gear4music Select guitars?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes! The range of high-quality components, exciting features, and finishes that Select guitars and basses offer makes them an attractive option to all players. They&#8217;re suitable not only for beginner guitarists but also for professional players who want a new guitar without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Great for studio recording and performing on tour, Select guitars provide peace of mind to players looking for an alternative to their beloved, more expensive counterparts, whilst still offering the same level of flexibility and sound quality. The benefit then is that these pricier guitars can be kept safe at home.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;72b2aac8-2a26-4106-af58-67527d130293&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;What tonewoods do Gear4music use?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_tonewoods_do_Gear4music_use\"><\/span>What tonewoods do Gear4music use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although the tone of your guitar is the result of multiple factors such as pickups, string gauges, and bridge types, these parts are all interchangeable.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that remains consistent is the type of tonewood used in its construction.

It's an extension of our pre-existing LA, New Jersey, Chicago, Knoxville, and Brooklyn guitar and bass ranges.<\/p><p>Offering our unique take on some classic guitar designs, the aim for Select was to produce a new breed of guitars and basses that are easy to play. They're made from premium components, and they're suitable for a broad range of playing styles, all whilst being accessible in price.<\/p><p>In this article, we\u2019ll explore some of the regular questions that guitarists have about Select Guitars.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Why are Gear4music Select guitars good for beginners?<\/h3><p>One of the things we\u2019re most proud of when it comes to the Select range is that the guitars feel and sound great straight out of the box. This is a key selling point at this price point as it gives any beginner guitarist a solid platform to build on. It allows them to hone their craft without the risk of developing any bad habits as a factor of an improper setup.<\/p><hr \/><h3>Can professional guitarists and bassists use Gear4music Select guitars?<\/h3><p>Yes! The range of high-quality components, exciting features, and finishes that Select guitars and basses offer makes them an attractive option to all players. They're suitable not only for beginner guitarists but also for professional players who want a new guitar without breaking the bank.<\/p><p>Great for studio recording and performing on tour, Select guitars provide peace of mind to players looking for an alternative that offers the same level of flexibility and sound quality as their beloved, more expensive counterparts. The benefit then is that these pricier guitars can be kept safe at home.<\/p><hr \/><h3>What type of tonewoods do Gear4music use?<\/h3><p>Although the tone of your guitar is the result of multiple factors such as pickups, string gauges, and bridge types, these parts are all interchangeable.<\/p><p>The one thing that remains consistent is the type of tonewood used in its construction. This has a massive impact on the feel of the guitar and its overall sound quality.<\/p><p>With three tonewoods to choose from, Gear4music\u2019s Select series gives you more choice than most competition within this price range, so you can find the right model for you.<\/p><h4>Mahogany<\/h4><p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-13558 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2022\/08\/New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Silverburst-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music,-Silverburst\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/>Popular amongst jazz, blues, hard rock, and metal players, mahogany has long been considered a \u201cgo-to\u201d tonewood for solid body guitars.<\/p><p>Warm and mellow, this tonewood only gets better with age, offering an abundance of low frequency energy that complements the focused midrange and smooth high-end.<\/p><p>Not only does mahogany offer a crisp, clear tone, but it also has numerous practical benefits, including greater resistance to wood rot and warping over time.<\/p><p>Shop now I <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Silverburst\/3L4E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Select Electric Guitar by Gear4music, Silverburst<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now I <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Glorious-Gold\/2ZYT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Select Electric Guitar by Gear4music, Glorious Gold<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now I <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Spalted-Maple\/1HZZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Select Electric Guitar by Gear4music, Spalted Maple<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Shop now I<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Guitar-and-Bass\/New-Jersey-Select-Electric-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Beautiful-Black\/2ZYS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Jersey Select Electric Guitar by Gear4music, Beautiful Black<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h4>Swamp ash<\/h4><p>Inspired by models from leading guitar brands in the \u201850s, many guitars in the Select series feature a swamp ash body.
