Used Acoustic Guitars

Buying a used guitar can be a wise investment. For one thing, they are about 50% cheaper than buying a new guitar.

If you are considering buying a used guitar, know what you are buying. There are usually four different “used” guitar categories. They are old used, new used, refurbished and needs work.

Your best bet is to buy an old used guitar that is generally ten years or older. You’ll find some great bargains in this category in classified on websites like EBay. The new used category usually offers guitars that are less than five years old. There are also some good bargains to be had here as well. Factory seconds or refurbished guitars offer great deals on recent models, and EBay again has some great deals. Look for sellers who have sold guitars before and have positive feedbacks.

Used guitars age well in most instances, and often times they sound better as well. But before you buy one, there are some points that you should take into consideration.

If the guitar looks good, then it will probably sound good. You may have to clean it up and change the strings, but make sure it has strings on it so that you can test the sound. Check the neck to make sure it isn’t twisted or bent. The neck joint should be flush to the body of the guitar, and the space in front of the bridge and behind it should be flat. Other good points to remember are plastic don’t stand up as well with age as wood does.

To find a used guitar, you can do a “google” search on the Internet, or go to a local pawnshop.
