Default Best site for electrics on sale....

Where do you shop on line for electric guitars, factory built, with good pricing.

The only time I bought and then sold an electric guitar it was through The Gear Page forum.

I purchased my SG from The Gear page Classified and the PRS from Reverb.com.

Excellent sellers knew how to pack and both guitars came in tune.

Here are some sites for used/openbox:

MusiciansFriend has openbox items which sell for less than the new ones
Guitar Center has tons of used gear
Amazon has their Warehouse deals, which are returns or used? Good prices

I got my Fender Baja Telecaster from Sweetwater — their price was fair (more or less what you’d pay at a bigger retailer with a good holiday coupon) and more importantly, I was able to pick the guitar with the right weight and wood grain that I was looking for.

I’ve bought other things from them in the past, from a cheap ukulele to a nice Roland piano. Their customer service is great, shipping has been quick and reliable, their return policy is solid, and they don’t charge sales tax outside of their home state. I’ll continue to buy from them moving forward.

Reverb- make an offer, it's been great.

Musicians Friend- they will discount guitars if you call and ask, and the points really add up. I like the points at MF- I've saved a lot of money on stuff I was going to buy anyway.

Full Compass has given me some discounts. Nice people too.

My wife bought my Samick Greg Bennett Royale semi on eBay around 12 years ago. (Played beautifully right out of the box).
