I dont like brand new guitars because:

1. they are pricier that 2nd hand guitars

4. mas mura ang 2nd hand..

5. mas mura ang 2n hand..

eh yung vintage? haha

brand new is always my first option. if i'm going for used gear, i would want it slightly used. i don't mind having dings on my gear as long as i was the one who put them there, not some other guy.

Expect a trip to a luthier or a lot of DIY setting up when buying 2nd hand guitars.

honestly, even though i have some 2nd hand guitars, i like brand new guitars.. unless it's a 59 burst.

The only time I ever bought a new guitar was when I had my LsL T-Bone made, since I have no intention in selling it. Otherwise, I buy used. Not because I dislike new guitars. Rather, I do not like selling at a loss. The devaluation in the used gear market is horrendous. With used gear I always sell at a gain, or at least break even.

I've never had a bnew guitar. hahahaha and all of 'em sound nicer than a new one. Not actually sure if that's the case for all.

an old, wise guitar maestro once told me: the older the wood, the denser it gets, sound resonates better. This belief has taught me well in picking up guitars. i would prefer a vintage, mint condition Les Paul over brand new ones (that's where serial #s are most helpful). That... is my honest thought guys!

Our young, and "wise">

bassist told me once na "the only problem with buying a brand new guitar is you can not sell it over the price you got it, unlike buying used ones." haha just sharing. Peace you guys!

Let's not forget na those used and vintage guitars are once brand new. Baka yung mga vintage guitars ng mga idolo natin, na pinapangarap natin, eh brand new nung mapapunta sa kanila. Sabay na sila naging vintage ahahaha.

Ako naman eh ang tingin ko sa karamihan ng mga bagong guitars ngayon eh, ahmm, "over-designed". That's why siguro may mga nagpupursue pa rin ng mga "vintage setups" and VOS.

lovecore · « **Reply #89 on:** February 26, 2012, 04:47:59 AM »

With Philmusic, I don't like brand new anymore hehe

Kidding aside, the only time I bought brand new was when i was in High school, another in college, and another when I was gunning for an MIA strat that wasn't available locally. All the rest I got 2nd hand and I don't mind it at all. Though like some of the guys, I prefer to be the one to put the dings on em and I want it nice and clean

Unless of course I was going for some of the relic jobs some of the guys are selling.

It seems it's just not worth it these days going for brand new if you can find a like new version of it in PM

on the topic of old guitars sounding better than new ones, i sort of agree.

Matthias Jabs talked about this once in a guitar mag: he had a new guitar which he felt needed "waking up," so he had his techs keep it onstage at every show, on a stand, pretty much beside his speaker cabs, and this exposed the guitar to musical vibrations similar to actually being played. I'm not sure how effective it actually is, but it's kind of plausible.

ako naman.. i rarely buy guitars.. that's why i only have one electric, and so does my brother..
both were bought brand new..

i don't have anything with second hand guitars.. pero hanggat kaya ko makakuha ng brand new, i'll get one.. mas gusto ko na ako magdidiscover sa kung anong meron sa guitar.. just my personal taste..

although i won't mind buying a used guitar na gustong-gusto ko talaga.. i've seen many.. just didn't have the breads..

experience has thought you better, im guessing.

The only guitar I bought brand new is the guitar I'm selling today. All my second hands will stay.

opposite naman sa akin. all my guitars were brand new. hindi pa ako nakabili ng second hand but I wouldn't mind buying one as long as it's still in pretty great condition. I like opening a box and seeing a shiny new guitar.

TagaRetiro · « **Reply #97 on:** June 06, 2013, 01:47:58 PM »

I like second hand guitars para hindi na ko masyadong conscious pag ginamit. May mga dings at bumps na eh hahaha

Shred_22 · « **Reply #98 on:** June 06, 2013, 01:51:27 PM »

lahat ng guitar ko brand new kahit makakamura ako sa 2nd hand gusto ko talaga brand new eh. iba yung feeling ng ikaw lang yung gumawa ng lahat ng damage dun sa gitara at alam mo lahat ng story bakit nag kaga ganun. kung baga ikaw naka virgin sinu ba naman may ayaw dun

pero sa effects ibang usapan na yun lahat naman ng effects ko 2nd hand never ako bumili ng brand new.

Well... tingnan naten..

Okay bawiin ko. Magbebenta nga pala ako sa tapos ng taon. Pero ang pampalit, second hand pa din. Alam mo naman ako, pang second hand lang ang beauty ko. Tarush.
