The last time I bought a guitar 2nd hand, my wife made me sell it immediately for what I paid for it. My first Les Paul copy. Ruthless, but I've stopped buying them now. Acoustics I buy second hand based on sound and feel. I don't need any more. Electrics, I look for good quality copies, nice sound and great action. I do have a Fender Strat but it's not a particularly good one. I think made in Mexico. I went through a stage when I bought RJ copies in the Philippines as they were beautifully built. Then the factory got burnt down and they just imported guitars, so not interested anymore. I need to get all my electrics set up and generally fixed up as the humidity here is awful and I don't treat them well. I'm not precious about guitars. I'm more concerned about the whole picture, amps and guitar effects and guitars. I use a TC Electric Nova and a MXR overdrive if I'm not using the Nova, Vox wow-wow etc. I use a valve amp - Fender Blues Junior. I used to have a Marshall stack but someone stole it. I'd kill for a Mesaboogie and maybe an old Fender Twin Reverb....
