Free guide to buy a good guitar
When you are new to playing the guitar, it is only natural to be anxious about which guitar should you purchase and how much you should shell out for it. Most important issues rest on the quality and playability of your instrument. The type of guitar you choose depends on the kind of music you want to play. If you want to sound like Bob Dylan or Jack Johnson, you probably want an acoustic guitar. On the other hand if you want to play folk, alternative, jazz, flamenco, etc. your choice would be a classical guitar. Electric guitars are differentiated by their pickups, one is a single coil pickup and the other is a humbuckers. Humbuckers sound great with distortion, so they're the pickups of choice for the hard rockers, while the single coil pickups have a brighter tone and thus preferred for un-distorted guitar playing.
Buying guitar is not a easy job as lots of options are now available in India right from Indian made guitars to a wide range of imported acoustic as well as electric guitars. It is always better to get your friend along who plays guitar or Guitar teacher to buy the guitar. Some of the shop sales person can also help you to select the right one. In case you are a beginner and going alone just keep few things in mind like the Guitar should be easy to play i.e. the strings distance from the fret board should not be much and when you hold the guitar it should be comfortable and sounds good when you strum. Most importantly, only select a guitar you know is fully examined and adjusted for easy playability, precision in tuning, intonation and tone production.
What should be the size of my guitar? It is very important to be, as well as look comfortable while you hold a guitar. Most children up to their teen years may want to start on a ¾ size guitar. A quality ¾ size guitar will normally sound very good, but have a less “full” tone than a full-size guitar. Most adults will choose a full-size guitar. Most full size guitars will be 37 to 38 inches in length and have a fret board with 21 frets. One must ask a salesperson to help you decide if your guitar fits.
Some technicalities you should look into before choosing the right guitar: Tuning machine keys should operate smoothly. The fingerboard should be level with the top of the guitar. Most guitars should have an adjustable truss rod. A functional truss rod will usually make slight changes in a neck with as little as a 1/4 to 3/4's of a turn. Neck angles that are too far forward or backward will tend to have or develop adjustment problems. A helpful visual indicator of a good neck angle is a bridge that is about as high off the top or soundboard of the guitar as the fingerboard. String height or action at the nut should be low at the first fret, which results in all six strings being easy to play.
How much should you spend on your first guitar purchase? A good beginner acoustic guitar will range from Rs.2500/- to 7000/- Average price of acoustic guitar for beginners can be around Rs.3500/-
Higher the price the better is the wood quality and craftsmanship that makes it a good sounding acoustic guitar. As acoustic guitar does not have any amplification it is very necessary that it sounds good!
If it’s your electric guitar, choices are more as many brands are available in different shapes and specification. A starting range of electric guitar is from Rs 4,000/- onwards; of course a branded one starts from around Rs.8000-9000/- onwards. Many Indian stores have a good websites now-a day’s which gives complete details of their product range and even specifications for all their guitars which can help one to choose the right guitar for himself. So you can always check the product reviews before you actually check them.

what is a good guitar distortion pedal to combine with the metal zone?
the metal zone has good distortion but i am looking for more buzz in the distortion. i was thinking a fuzz pedal might help or maybe an overdirve pedal, i have no idea. Has anyone used another pedal with the metal zone?
You've gotta be joking. You need more distortion than what a metal zone has to offer? Seriously?
And what the heck is a tremolo going to do? Make it go "wobble wobble"? How is that going to help?
Okay, if i'm interpreting your question correctly, you need to do one (or more) of the following things:
Get a hotter signal - get higher output pickups. If your pickups aren't making much of a signal, then your distortion will be anemic. Stock pickups? Bingo. You can try raising your pickups closer to the strings (not too close!), but that only goes so far.
Get a hotter signal - line boost, overdrive, EQ. Again, a hotter signal makes a chewier distortion. Line boost/clean boost takes a quieter signal and makes it louder, overdrive adds some grit and harmonics for a richer signal, and EQ is fine tuning or selective frequency boosting. Without knowing the particulars, any of these could do the trick. A decent pedal like an MXR or a Boss GE-7 should give you plenty of control over your signal. Cheaper EQ's will hiss more.
Get a different distortion unit. It is conceivable that the sound you're looking for isn't possible with the metal zone. If you want a thick fuzz, for instance, a la Big Muff or Metal Muff, you pretty much aren't going to get it from a Metal Zone... it's a different type of distortion.
Usually with a unit like the Metal Zone gain stacking isn't feasible... there's already so much gain in it that adding more just doesn't work. Nevertheless you can try adding another distortion pedal in front of it, but you'll want one that can clean up if you roll back the gain or volume of your guitar. Set it with very low gain and high level or volume... that way it works more like an overdrive and pushes the Metal Zone further into clipping instead of turning your rig into a Feedback-o-Matic. Well, it might do that, too...
Usually buzz = fuzz.... but not always. I can get a pretty wide range of sounds from my Metal Zone, but I also have a moderately hot pickup - a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker. It ain't the highest output, but I can't turn up the gain past 40% or so before it turns into noise... so I think it's hot enough.
Try getting better pickups or an EQ pedal. You can do an awful lot with an EQ pedal, from modifying tone to a solo boost to feedback control to distortion voicing (EQ after the distortion pedal).
