Buying On Line
We know there are many places you can purchase your guitar online. Most online dealers have a call center and a warehouse, and no one ever sees the instrument you will be shipped, nor do they care. Here at NM, every guitar is inspected, photographed in detail and adjusted by one of our two luthiers. You get the same quality delivered right to your door that our in-store customers receive. And since we love guitars, if we aren’t satisfied with a guitar it quietly goes back to the manufacturer, and eventually some other online company will ship it out without ever seeing it.
Reasons to buy from Naperville Music

One good thing about guitars, is that is an instrument that has matured. That simply means that there are no real technological advancements - actually Les Paul and others slapped a pickup on a chunk of wood in the late 40's and created an electric guitar. The differences between guitars are impossible to count, but they are relatively minor differences that give a particular model or brand it's unique personality.
But the fundamentals are always the same.
Here are some of the things you will need to know when buying a guitar;
1. Electric or Acoustic, the wood the instrument is made of determines how the instrument will sound. This is known as the "tone". The better the tone the more the instrument will cost. When you are a beginner, tone is not the most important concern, in fact most beginners can not hear the difference between the different woods until they have been playing for a while.
2. The most important thing to consider when buying your first guitar is playability, This determines how easy it is to press the strings down while learning to play. You want the strings to be as low as possible to the neck without buzzing. This means your fingertips won't hurt when you practice. If they hurt, you will not want to learn to play.
To insure your guitar will be playable and sound good, you will want a name brand guitar that has a lifetime warranty. The big companies stand behind their products. You will also need to get the guitar from someone who can show you all the things that go into making a guitar playable. Think about how unhappy you would be if you bought a piano and every other key was stuck down.
that would be easy to spot before you bought but playability on guitar is not that easy to find for a beginner.
As a new player, you may not have thought of these things before. But in any case, answering these questions in the context of what you want now as a player and what you will need in the future as a player will help a lot in the process of selecting the guitar that will give you the most satisfaction for the money.
We would like to help. Stop by the store, call us, email us.
We look forward to hearing from you,
