Question:

Where to buy factory second guitars?

Ive had my guitar for a few years now and i think its about time to buy a replacement but im a little strapped for cash (being a student and all). Im looking for a shop that stocks Factory Second guitars (preferably Takamine) or perhaps good condition Used, either online or in North-West England.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Check sites such as Musicians Friend for closeouts, scratch and dent, and similar sales. Also ASK on the phone and B and C stock - same thing. Most factories repair things BEFORE they leave - they do not let things out with poor quality, because it is THEIR reputation on the line. I had an old boyfriend who built for Ovation, and that was his info, way back then.

Woodwind/Brasswind was just bought out by a HUGE outfit called Guitar something - my daughter=in=law teaches guitar, and she told me - the bigger the place, the more likely you are to get a deal.
