Don't go through Ebay. My opinion is that you don't really know what you are buying. Go to a music store and buy the lower end if you wish. Or perhaps a pawn shop or second hand store will have what you are looking for. The point is, that you will be able to see if the guitar has a warped neck...scratches and so on....

Hope it helps.
