High-quality guitars cost more. We all know that. These guitars are expensive because of using high-quality material. We know solid body guitars with premium tonewoods cost more than $1000. The sounds are excellent. But I would not suggest these expensive guitars if you are a beginner. First, you need to know what is an electric guitar and how it works. You should learn to hold the guitar properly. You should be familiar with the strings of the guitar. After a few days of practice, you should think about buying a premium electric guitar.
Naturally, costly guitars are quality guitars but does that mean cheap guitars are always bad? Not really! In the past, cheaper guitars weren't made carefully and with accuracy but nowadays cheap quality guitars are also well made and look like premium guitar. Today we are going to tell you about 7 cheap guitars that are good for beginners.
Davison full size electric guitar
Davison's full-size electric guitar with the 39" scale length comes with the complete package that includes a 10W amp, padded gig bag with backpack straps, shoulder strap, and cable. This guitar is available in five colors. Black, Blue, Red, and Pink. When I looked at this guitar for the first time it wasn't looking cheap from any angle. The glossy finish of the guitar makes you feel that you are holding an expensive guitar. contoured body and Maple neck make the playing comfortable. A 10-watt amp that comes with the package is really powerful and loud. It has Humbucker Pickup which is an appreciable thing at such a price.
Overall, it's a wonderful gift by Davison for those who want to start their electric guitar-playing journey on a low budget. If you have small hands you may feel this guitar is slightly heavy for you. this is the only downside from a design and build point of view.

Glarry full size electric guitar
I have seen basswood as the most commonly used wood for cheaper electric guitars. The same is used in GLARRY Full Size Electric Guitar. Glarry is a musical instrument manufacturer located in china. GLARRY Full Size Electric Guitar has basswood as a body material with a maple neck. Basswood is an affordable and widely used wood for entry-level and mid-range guitars.
Though tonewood doesn't matter much in electric guitars it reduces the overall cost of the guitar. A maple fretboard that is smooth to play. steel tunning pegs that made tunning easy and other accessories like strap, guitar bag, Tremolo arm, connecting wire, and many more you are going to get under $90. I am surprised that how could they manage to deliver so much at this price. It also comes with a 20W amp which isn't enough powerful but ok to start with. Build quality is average for sure but at this price point, I wouldn't expect better than this.

Rise by sawtooth electric guitar
Sawtooth is a musical instrument manufacturer that makes affordable instruments like Guitar, Bass, Amp, piano, and many more. It's assembled in California. The main focus is to manufacture entry-level guitars and other musical instruments. Rise electric guitar is an entry-level, beginner-friendly guitar available at $100.
Two color options are available. Trans black and sunburst. A basswood body with a Maple neck isn't durable. You don't need to worry much because it's cheaper. I would recommend Rise by sawtooth for its playability and comfort. It has a 25.5" Scale Length with chrome hardware and dot inlays that looks nice. It has decent sound compared to the price.

Jameson guitars 6-string electric guitar
The last guitar on our list is Jameson Guitar's 6-string electric guitar. A combination of Hardwood and Maple neck reduces the weight of the guitar. It has an adjustable bridge that makes intonation settings uncomplicated. The headstock doesn't look good but it's ok at this price point.
The high gloss finish on the guitar body reminds the premium guitars of reputed brands. It has volume and tone control knobs. overall it's a great pack for a beginner. As usual build quality and sound are cons and that ordinary-looking headstock that doesn't match with the body.

Conclusion
What do you check when you buy your first electric guitar? of course you check all the technical specifications and build quality of the guitar. You also check the playability. but the most important point you check is the price of the guitar and does it is worth buying a guitar or not.
You also check the accessories you get with the guitar. with consideration of all these points brands like Jameson, sawtooth, and some other brands make an affordable, cheap guitar with all the necessary accessories. considering the price point, I wasn't worried about the build quality of the guitar. All I did was focus on playability and appearance.
another point I considered is string action. strings shouldn't be too hard to press because beginners don't have much strength in their fingers so it may become a first painful experience as a learner. These 7 guitars are cheap and comfortable. Just ignore the sound quality and build. Don't expect they would last long with you.
