Used Guitar Buyers Guide

How to buy a Used guitar like a pro

Congratulations! if you’re reading this it means that you’re currently in the market for a used guitar, It should be fun and exciting but in today’s market theres so much crappy gear and misinformation it’s getting hard to know what you should be looking for. Well folks I’m sick and tired of responding to all your DMs so heres my Buyers guide.

This guide is meant to help you understand what you should be looking for and potentially Help you negotiate a better deal. This applies to Online purchases as well, once you RECEIVE the instrument just follow the same steps and then decide if you should keep the instrument or not. lastly, Never buy a guitar because it has a built in tuner in it. #dasit









FINAL THOUGHTS, ALWAYS BUY FROM A REPUTABLE SELLER LIKE REVERB.COM, GUITAR CENTER OR A GOOD LOCAL SHOP AND JUST MAKE SURE THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF RETURN POLICY. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO BUY FROM CRAIGSLIST I’D RECOMMEND USING PAYPAL JUST TO COVER YOUR BUTT INCASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG. ALSO, FOR THOSE THAT WANNA DIG IN A LITTLE MORE INTO LEARNING THE INNER WORKINGS OF A GUITAR I DO HAVE A FREE SETUP GUIDE HERE. FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. GOOD LUCK AND HOPE YOU FIND A KILLER DEAL!
