From who or wherever has the guitar I want. Always either from an individual or store. Probably about 60/40 store/individual. Store for warranty. Individual for availability or price. For example, I recently purchased a guitar not available anywhere but from an individual seller. If it were available from a store new, I would have done that.

All but one from local guitar stores. That means I got to play them first. I bought one blind from a forum member, and that turned out to be a good acquisition too. Only store still in business that I got more than one guitar from is Mr. Music in Allston (a Boston suburb), Massachusetts.
Since most of the medium to large guitar stores in Boston are gone except for GC, this is a convenient time to put the cap on the g.a.s. can. There have been a few guitars I have been interested in playing, but they never "Please come to Boston" anymore. Don .
