The Choice of brand is especially important when buying electric and bass guitars, since the standards of production are not clearly defined.

In addition to the tool, you need a case (preferably waterproof and resistant to frost), tuner and other accessories-guitar picks, a Capo, strap. For electric or bass guitar need a combo amp.
