I prefer to buy from music stores in the area. I can see what i want,play the guitar,and get good service. Sometimes the lowest price is not the best idea.

The sales people are very helpful and know what's working for people who play in bands, etc.. :cool:

Fake guitars are pretty common these days - Remember with the biggies(Fenders and Gibsons) get the serial number as you can contact the company easily and they can tell you alot about the guitar(Serial number designates model, color, etc so you can see if they match what is being pictured).
