you know, it took me a lot of years playing to realize that used is the way to go.
as long as you sit down, play the guitar, make sure it's not humming (no grounding issues) and the neck plays nice. not buzzing all over, or worn frets.

check out the other common problems in the article.

do that and you're good to go.

if it's used, you have to play it first.

except maybe for fret wear, guitars don't normally wear out.
they either work or they don't.
and except for a broken neck, most everything can be easily taken care of.

Thank you. I''ll make a list of everything to keep in mind. For some reason, my mind goes blank when I'm at the store.

cool, any questions, feel free to ask
Thanks for the add. What do you think about used vs new? I'm planning on getting an Epiphone Dot and the price new is $400 US, used $270. They're pretty much exactly the same. Any advice on what to look out for? Thanks.

hey
i knew the thread was old. i was just answering the new question posted in it.

sometimes i think that's fine, as long as it's a new question and not an added comment to an old topic.

imo, i don't think we should jump all over n00bs to "use the search button", then yell at them for bumping an old thread when they do.

of course that leads to knuckleheads answering the original OP, which is what happened. but i didn't want you to think i didn't read your post.

dude

Oh yeah, for sure.

People who say use the search bar kind of annoy me (unless it's something like a Spider/MG thread), but people also need to realize that if they do, they shouldn't bump a thread that's so old haha.

My comment wasn't really directed towards anyone, just warning them that the thread was old and that they're not really helping the TS by posting at this point

Seriously the song had this emotional feel to it that I couldn't find in the original song. But then again I didn't like the way the vocals were in the original, but yeah go you.
