04 Oct 15 Best Electrics under £500
£500 can get you a really good electric these days.
There are some fantastic ‘mid’ price electric guitars out there and if you choose your spec carefully you can get a real corker: we have an Epiphone Lee Malia LP signature which has Gibson pups, looks the biz and is superb.
This sector is hotly contested by all manufactures including the big F and the big G (via Epiphone) and whether you are into blues, country, rock, metal, jazz or any point in between there will be a few guitars out there to tempt you.
These are our choices – single cuts, double cuts, offsets and shred machines – take your pick…
