Every guitarist who practices hard and makes progress with their instrument eventually gets to point where they simply outgrow their first guitar. They just need an instrument with more; more tone, more style, more features. Basically, when you reach this point, it's going to be time for you to upgrade to an intermediate electric guitar so your journey to becoming a guitar hero can continue.
Intermediate guitars are easily differentiated from beginner guitars by the quality of their construction and sophistication of their components. These guitars are designed to give you more control over your overall sound and tone, allowing you to really find your playing niche. There's no doubt in your mind that it's time for an upgrade, so now's the time to see what we can offer.
All the world's most popular brands offer intermediate guitars, so if you have your heart set on buying from a specific maker then you can seriously narrow down your search. If you're not entirely sure what you're looking for, your best bet might be to check out our top sellers to get a feel for what is available. For example, one of our most popular intermediate electric guitars is the Desolation Skatecaster 1 from Charvel. This guitar is a modern take on the classic Charvel Surfcaster of the early 90s. With devastating tone (thanks to the EMG pickups) and a solid mahogany body and neck, this guitar will quickly take your playing to new heights.
Another great option available here is the Pro X Custom Special X3 Mockingbird Electric Guitar from B.C. Rich. This guitar is built to stand out, with its iconic mockingbird body shape and quilted maple top. But it's more than just another pretty face; it also features the triple B.C. Rich B.D.S.M pickups for plenty of output. Make no mistake about it; this is a mockingbird that really sings.
And these are only two examples of the hundreds of intermediate electric guitars we have available to you. When you're ready to make the leap from beginner to something a little more serious, an intermediate electric guitar is definitely going to be just what the doctor ordered.
