Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are plenty of genuinely old, shabby looking guitars out there, especially if you're not looking for a rare vintage instrument and just want a beater to mess around on!.

You generally don't want to buy any instrument online, sight unseen unless you're very experienced and know a lot about guitars, and can afford to risk your money on an instrument that is not as advertised!. And this is especially true of used or secondhand instruments since without seeing it in person you have no idea of the true condition of the instrument!.

Check garage and yard sales, pawn shops, and local classified ads for older used guitars!. Ask around amongst family members or friends; you never know who might have a perfectly useable but slightly beat up guitar in their attic or bedroom closet somewhere!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd get in touch with all the local thrift stores (or whatever they are in the South Wales), and let them know you're looking for one!. Many stores like that will make a note and call you if they get one in!.

If you get one that is really messed up, you could refinish it somewhat yourself, if you're not concerned about the tone!. Painting a guitar is generally not good for the sound quality!Www@QuestionHome@Com
