Used Guitars
The best guitar deals you'll find anywhere
If you're looking for a deal on an electric or acoustic guitar, you should absolutely buy used. Used instruments offer fantastic value, whether you're after a vintage Fender classic, a modern Ibanez shredder, a Martin acoustic, or anything in between. And with most guitar listings on Reverb, you can send the seller an offer in an effort to land an even better deal on top of the built-in savings you're already getting with any pre-owned instrument.
There's a lot more than just the obvious financial motivations that make used guitars worthwhile and, in many cases, even preferable to their brand-new counterparts. When buying used, you'll find a much wider selection than what's on the shelves at a big box store, for example, encompassing decades' worth of guitar industry output.
And while the average used guitar will certainly have a few more dings and scratches than a factory-fresh instrument, that's part of the appeal. The intangible broken-in quality of a guitar that has some miles on it, the history that exudes from its well-worn wood and strings—it all mixes together to give used guitars that unmistakable magic that makes them the first choice for most musicians in the know.
