I started playing the Gu-tar over a decade ago...My first ax was a classical (the worst I've ever played). After, like 4-6 months of struggling on that P.O.S. I realized it was actually the instrument--not me! I bought an Ibanez and fell in love with playing. Anyway, about 5 years ago, I started playing around again. I've long since sold my Ibanez acoustic-electric. I bought an elecric years ago and was given a student acoustic. getting ready for another acoustic-electric. One question, have any of you had decent experience with buying guitars off ebay. I do most of my gear purchases there now, but my good sense tells me, a guitar purchase is a bit too risky considering the things that could be wrong with it, which would affect playability. And a photo just can't show those things...just wondering what others think?
