How to buy used safely. The number that matters is the total including shipping, which we add up for you. Then check the seller's feedback (shown on every listing) and whether returns are accepted, favour listings with photos of the actual guitar and detailed condition notes, and remember eBay's Money Back Guarantee covers you if it arrives faulty or not as described. Inspect the neck, body, frets, and electronics before finalizing purchase. Prices refresh live from eBay and are cached briefly, so they are current to within a few minutes.

How to buy a used electric guitar

The neck and frets tell you the most. Sight down the neck from the headstock: it should be almost straight (a tiny relief is normal, a visible bow or twist is a problem, though a straightforward truss-rod adjustment fixes minor bowing). Check the frets for deep wear grooves under the first few positions, since a refret is expensive. Press each string at several frets to listen for buzzing or dead notes.

Test the electronics. Plug in and work every pickup selector position, and turn all the volume and tone knobs fully: crackling or cut-outs usually mean dirty pots or a bad jack, which are cheap fixes but should be reflected in the price. Check the tuners hold pitch and the bridge and hardware are not heavily corroded.

Know what holds value. USA-made Fender and Gibson guitars hold value best; a Mexican-made (MIM) Fender is a great player for far less but sells for less too, so match what you pay to what it is. Budget a small amount for a professional setup, which transforms how a used guitar plays.

Value. Quality electric guitars barely depreciate once they are a few years old, so buying used is low risk, and a well-kept older instrument often plays better than a new one.

Yes. Favour high-feedback sellers, prefer listings with photos of the actual guitar and condition notes, and lean on eBay's Money Back Guarantee to protect you.

How much cheaper is used vs new?
