10 Best Blue Electric Guitars That You Might Like

Do you know what the most popular color in the world is? Well, it’s blue, as revealed in this worldwide study. But, surprisingly, blue guitars are not that common. For example, if I ask you to name five guitar greats who play white guitars, it's easy, but can you name five who play blue guitars? Most people couldn’t.If you're also looking for other colors, we're written about red electric guitarspink electric guitars, black electric guitars, green electric guitars, white electric guitar.

So, let’s take a closer look at the 10 best blue guitars you can buy to find out how cool they really are, starting with the…

Best Blue Electric Guitar for Beginners - EastCoast ST1 Electric Guitar in Lake Placid Blue with Rosewood Fretboard

Do you love the look of vintage Lake Placid blue Strats, but don’t want to spend a fortune? Then get yourself this stylish EastCoast ST1.

Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20

This is an excellent first guitar choice for a beginner, giving you all the looks and features of a Strat, at a far more affordable price. Understandably, its sound and playability won’t match the genuine article, but you can always upgrade to a Fender in a few years when your skill levels have improved.

A fantastic choice for guitar novices who have limited budgets.

Best Lake Placid Blue Guitar - Squier Affinity Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue

Looking for something a bit higher quality but still in Lake Placid blue? Then, for all you Telecaster fans, this Squier Affinity Telecaster is a great option at a very affordable price.

Squier Affinity Telecaster

Squier is a division of the legendary Fender corporation that delivers the same iconic designs at more pocket-friendly prices. Featuring the classic Tele design and pickup configuration, you’ll get the same feel, specs, and looks as a Fender.

So, if you want an excellent quality Telecaster that won’t break the bank, go for a Squier Affinity series. Highly recommended!

Best Blue Guitar for Kids - Squier Mini Jazzmaster Electric Guitar in Daphne Blue

Sticking with Squier, this gorgeous little stunner is easily the best blue electric guitar for children. It’s an authentic recreation of a Fender Jazzmaster but on a much smaller scale. It features the looks and all the specs of the full-sized guitar apart from it not having the Jazzmasters whammy system, which shouldn’t be a problem for most kids.

But it’s not only one of the best first guitar choices for children, it’s also a fantastically cool-looking travel guitar for anyone who is away from home a lot. Just plug it into a Pignose amp for an ultra-portable, great-sounding setup that you can use anywhere.

Best Blue Yamaha Guitar - Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20 Electric Guitar in Swift Blue

Guitarists grow up watching their heroes on TV and the internet and with posters of them on their walls. That’s why we are subliminally drawn to the guitars our heroes play. I grew up idolizing Jimmy Page and Ace Frehley, so I naturally wanted a Les Paul, while some of my friends were mad Hendrix fans so they dreamed of owning a white Strat. This is one of the reasons why Strats, Les Pauls, Teles, SGs, 335s, etc. are, and will always be, very popular guitars.

But, some guitarists want to make their own musical path and not follow in the footsteps of others. They want a guitar that isn’t the one everyone else is playing, something like the Yamaha Revstar.

Yamaha Revstar Element RSE20

Even though it could be described as the lovechild of a Les Paul and an SG, it manages to retain its highly distinctive style and sound. The Element series is Yamaha’s most affordable line of Revstars, but you still get quality parts, rugged construction, and eye-catching looks that make this a fantastic first guitar choice for any guitarist determined to carve out their own musical identity.

Best Blue Gretsch Guitar - Gretsch G5210T P90 Electromatic Jet Two 90 Single Cut Electric Guitar in Mako with Bigsby

Moving up in price, we have this absolutely gorgeous-looking blue Gretsch.

Gretsch G5210T

I’m a huge fan of Gretsch guitars, from the legendary hollow bodies like Country Gentleman and the White Falcon to their classic solid bodies, such as the Duo Jet. And with the G5210T, you’ll get the same look and feel as a Duo Jet but with a pair of P90 pickups.

Lots of players argue about which is better, a humbucker or a single coil pickup. Well, they should try a P90, it could be the best of both worlds pickup for lots of them. They are one of the oldest pickup designs that are still commonly used and give you a wonderful middle ground between the grunt of a humbucker and the clarity of a single coil.

So, if you don’t like the thin sound of a Strat/Tele, and find that a humbucker is just too ‘Rock’, get yourself a pair of P90s, you won’t regret it. Plus, if they’re on a Gretsch that looks as beautiful as this, not only will your guitar sound amazing, but it will look a million dollars as well.

Best Blue Travel Guitar - Pignose PGG-200 Electric Guitar with Built-in Amplifier in Metallic Blue

Most beginner guitarists start playing on an acoustic, but for many, this isn’t the best option. If you love electric guitar styles, - rock, blues, indie, metal, etc. - then starting on an electric is a far better idea. Electric guitars have thinner strings which are under less tension and their action (the distance from the strings to the fretboard) is lower, making them far easier to play.

But there’s a problem, electric guitars lack volume, therefore, you’ll also need an amplifier, and that’s when things start getting expensive. However, legendary busking amp manufacturer, Pignose, has an innovative all-in-one solution, the PGG-200.

Pignose PGG-200

Featuring a built-in amp makes it not only far cheaper than buying a separate guitar and amp, but it’s also a cinch to travel with and play anywhere. All in all, it's the best travel guitar in blue out there!

Best Blue Ibanez Guitar - Ibanez Premium JEM77P Steve Vai Guitar in Blue Floral Pattern

Most guitarists are well aware of Steve Vai’s thirty-plus years of creative design collaboration with Ibanez which resulted in guitars such as the classic JEM series and the PIA.

So, next, we have a stunning blue JEM that will make your guitar-playing friends green with envy. It features exactly what you’d expect on a 77P - monkey grip handle, blue tree of life inlays, vivid blue fixtures with a clear pickguard to show off the gorgeous blue floral pattern to full effect, and lion claw tremolo cavity.

Ibanez Premium JEM77P

It has everything you could possibly need, working in perfect harmony to give you the ultimate in playability and tones that will leave you weak at the knees. Is it the best-looking blue JEM? Quite possibly!

Best Blue Stratocaster - Fender Custom Shop '63 Stratocaster HSS Relic in Miami Blue

Fender, without a doubt, produces some of the best quality instruments that money can buy. But what if you want something that’s even better than a Fender? Well, you’ll need to get your finances in order and take a look at what’s available from the Fender Custom Shop.

The Custom Shop delivers the ultimate in-build quality to create instruments that are not only stunning to look at but offer the very best in tone and playability.

Fender Custom Shop '63 Stratocaster

This remake of a ‘63 Strat has the looks, sound, and playability of a classic instrument, it’s the best of the best, after all. It even features a relic’ed finish giving it the vintage vibe that so many guitarists love.

However, there is a small problem… the price, but if you have deep enough pockets and are looking for the ultimate blue guitar, this could well be it.

Best Pelham Blue Guitar - Gibson USA Les Paul Standard '50s Solid Pelham Blue

Next, we have a timeless classic, the iconic Gibson Les Paul Standard, one the most popular guitars in musical history.

Gibson USA Les Paul Standard '50s

This authentic recreation of a ‘50s Les Paul has the classic design and looks that made this such a legendary guitar. Featuring a solid Mahogany body with a Maple top, a Pelham Blue Nitrocellulose finish, and a pair of killer PAF-style Pickups to give you the swagger that you can only get from a Les Paul.

All this, plus the authentic era specifications that made guitarists worldwide fall in love with this guitar in the first place. You simply can’t go wrong, it's a masterpiece.

Best Blue PRS Guitar - PRS Custom 24 Electric Guitar in Carroll Blue

In the introduction, I mentioned that I only own one blue guitar, well here it is, a gorgeous Carroll Blue Paul Reed Smith Custom 24.

PRS Custom 24

As you may have guessed from the last guitar I included on this list, my favorite guitars in the world are undoubtedly Gibson Les Pauls, but if you asked me… “You can only have one guitar for the rest of your life, which would it be?”, my answer would be this PRS Custom 24.

Even though I absolutely adore Les Pauls, they are a bit of a one-trick pony. Fair play, they do that trick exceptionally well, better than any other guitar, but they are not very versatile. However, that’s a problem you won’t have with this PRS, it will give you the low-end grunt of a Les Paul as well as the shimmer of a Strat or Tele, as well as everything in between, it simply does it all!

The craftsmanship is of the highest caliber, the range of tones is breathtaking, and it’s as smooth as butter to play. The ultimate blue guitar? Probably!

If so, you’ll love either the Guyker PG003 11-hole S/S/S Modern Resin Pickguard for Stratocaster® or the Guyker PG002 Fender 8-hole Modern Telecaster Resin Pickguard.
