Used Guitars

Buying a Used Guitar

Are you considering buying a used guitar? If, so, then know what you are buying. Used Guitars are generally classed into four categories. They are as follows: old used, new used, refurbished and needs work.

Buying a used guitar can be a good investment, as they tend to come in at about half the cost of buying a new guitar. Most used guitars age very well and they often sound better too.

These are the used guitar categories: ‘Old used’ guitars are generally ten years or older. The ‘new used’ category usually offers guitars that are less than five years old. ‘Refurbished’ guitars fall into the category between the old used and new used age group but because they have been overhauled they are generally more like new used. The ‘needs work’ speaks for itself and you should keep away from these unless you really know what you are looking for.

But before purchase your used guitar, take into consideration the following points:

Wood ages better than plastic. The neck joint should be flush to the body of the guitar, and the space in front and behind the bridge should be flat. Make sure the neck isn’t twisted or bent.

You may have to clean it up and change the strings, are you sure this is something you want to take on? Remember, if the guitar looks good, then it will probably sound good.

Make sure you do plenty of research before you make your decision. Don’t rush into buying the first used guitar you see just because its ‘on sale’, the ‘last one’, etc. There are usually plenty of used guitars for sale at very reasonable prices. Factory Seconds can offer great deals on recent models. You can also find some great deals on websites like Ebay. Look for sellers who have sold guitars before and have positive feedbacks. There are also some good bargains to be had from your local pawnshop. You could also do a “google” search on the Internet to find a used guitar, whether you are looking for your first ever guitar or a new top of the range guitar, if you have a favourite brand of guitar this will open up lots of opportunities for you. You can also find some very expensive, rare, antique used guitars up for sale.
