A Quiz to Find an Electric Guitar that Suits Your Situation
Which electric guitar is right for you? Take the quiz to find out.
Looking for some help figuring out which electric guitar works for you? Take our comprehensive quiz to help narrow it down.


There are a ton of electric guitars to pick from. It's a good problem to have, but also sort of a pain to sift through. We can help you narrow it down based on your unique situation.
A Note about Pricing
Keep in mind that you can modify the model you target based on your price range. For example, if the result of your quiz is a Fender Stratocaster, but you don't want to spend quite that much money, drop down to a Squier Stratocaster which is much cheaper.
Here are a few other mods you can make in regards to cheaper versus more expensive models:
- PRS Mainline VS PRS SE series (SEs are cheaper)
- Gibson VS Epiphone (Epiphones are cheaper)
- Fender VS Squier (Squiers are cheaper)
Again, if your recommended guitar is a mainline PRS, assume that PRS SE series - which is much cheaper - is also a good fit. Then you can just make a decision based primarily on your budget.
