Avoid buying a very cheap guitar online, or through EBay. Go to your local guitar shop and take a look at all of the options they offer. Ask the store owner, or a friend who can play guitar, to show you the options. Choose the one you prefer and ask for a setup. A setup makes sure that the guitar works and sounds great.

If it sounds too good to a be true, it most likely is. Many high quality guitar brands include serial numbers. Ask the seller about the serial number. Search the Internet for serials. Search, for example, for “martin Serial Numbers”. Depending upon the brand, you will be able to determine when the guitar is made and in some instances if it was stolen. Do not be afraid to ask questions of the seller, especially if you are unsure about their description.
