This thread is redundant since you basically are asking the same thing in your other poll.

Most guitars depreciate in value, so I always try to buy used before buying new.

I will NEVER EVER buy ANY new guitar from any guitar shop online or in store mom & pop.
After I bought my last new guitar in '99, it's been 100% used guitars all the way. I also buy all my used instruments in person. I want to feel the instrument, hear how it sounds, and I want to be able to thoroughly inspect it.

- and it doesn't look like it's been through Armageddon; BTW it's not "mojo," it's damage - nearly all of which is easily preventable with reasonable care and proper technique...

I have purchased 15 used guitars, you can find some great deals in the used market.
Understanding how to evaluate the structural integrity and being able to identify what problems and the solutions that you might find is very important

The differences between well kept used guitars bought in person and new guitars are very hard to determine...except for price, taxes, fees, and shipping costs.

Same comment as the other poll on new guitar purchases. In my current and recently sold guitars, I purchased 20 new and 8 used. I made one used purchase this year, but since used prices have increased during the pandemic, I was pushed back into buying new (for about the same price via online dealers!) for two other guitar purchases. Once the pandemic situation gets better, and overall inventory increases, then I'll probably consider buying used more realistically.

Why do you keep asking the same question? Maybe I should start a poll with that!!
