Most guitar players learn the basics on an economy guitar and there has never been a better time to find a bargain, with working instruments available for as little as GBP100. With some essential tweaks, good strings and careful setting up, it's possible to hone a budget guitar into a professional instrument. This manual offers tips, specialist advice and tricks of the trade that can be used to transform an 'off-the-shelf' entry-level guitar to provide feel, performance and sound to rival much more expensive instruments.
