Find Your Sound: Electric Guitars That Deliver
Whether you're chasing classic tones, modern edge, or just starting your musical journey, Roxy Music has an electric guitar that fits your style and your budget. We hand-select every instrument we carry from trusted brands like Fender, PRS, Ibanez, Gretsch, and more — chosen for tone, playability, and real-world performance.
Every guitar on our floor is individually inspected and professionally set up before you ever pick it up. We don't just stock gear — we play it, gig it, and stand behind it. That's been our promise to musicians in La Porte and Northwest Indiana since 1939.
Finding the Right Electric Guitar
The best electric guitar is the one that makes you want to play every day. Here's how to think about it:
Match the Guitar to Your Sound
Solid body guitars like the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster are incredibly versatile — built for rock, blues, country, and everything in between. If you're after thick, warm humbucker tones, a Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul-style guitar is hard to beat. Jazz and indie players often gravitate toward semi-hollow and hollow body electrics like a Gretsch — instruments that bring natural warmth and resonance that solid bodies can't replicate.
Beginner Electric Guitars Worth Playing
The single biggest mistake first-time buyers make is buying a cheap guitar that's frustrating to play. A bad setup kills motivation fast. Every beginner guitar we sell comes professionally set up — lower action, proper intonation, ready to play out of the box. Brands like Squier, Ibanez, and Yamaha offer outstanding beginner electric guitars in the $200–$400 range that play and sound far better than their price suggests.
Gigging and Intermediate Players
Ready to move up or need something stage-worthy? The PRS SE Series, Fender Player Series, and Ibanez RG Series all deliver professional-grade tone and reliability at prices that make sense for working musicians. Our staff plays out regularly across Northwest Indiana — we know exactly what holds up night after night.
