I have about $400 for a guitar where should I look to get the most value possible?

[tame smelt]

I’ve been looking on Facebook marketplace but I need some guidance to find something really great

[dark zealot]

Reverb

[subtle pawn]

Reverb.com is the best site for value, purely because it is the most popular used gear site

Used gear is literally the exact same as new

Just cheaper

Facebook marketplace I would avoid if at all possible.

If there are any near by, guitar stores that aren't a big chain store can be really good, getting your hands on an instrument can make all the difference if you know what your looking for.

But I’ll have to pay shipping and tax

[subtle pawn]

No, some have free shipping

[sleek imp]

ive played a lot of guitars in this price range, hands down Musi makes the best value stuff within this budget. u can find em on Amazon or used on reverb

Musi and Harley Benton

Go for Harley Benton ESPECIALLY if ur in eu

I ended up spending 500 on a Schecter c-1 classic from Facebook marketplace

[river swan]

Pretty!

[subtle pawn]

Wow, that’s seriously beautiful

[dawn monolith]

those go for 800 + dollars
