Historically bought significantly more used than I have new, but I have a much better idea of what I like these days so am looking for something specific rather than specifically a bargain. Some of the new instruments I’ve bought have wound up only marginally more expensive than used just due to sales.
So, yes, God Bless rich bastards.
Although I've gradually moved up the price scale, most of my purchases the last few years have been used. I've really gone off shiny new guitars.
Used: uncountable. Most flipped. 2 definite 'Keepers'. So far...
Of those that have since gone, three were brand new, the other six were second hand.
I said maybe.....
Of the current herd:
Strat- new but modded so much it's hard to say
Tele new
JM and Cabronita both partscasters so new, but not bought as "whole" guitars
CS336, SG and HD28 all used
Used - no guitars, just:
My Faith electro was second hand, I think all my other guitars were new. Oh except a Hello Kitty Strat and an 81 Aria semi, both gifts.
'Have about 7 used guitars.
Effects for Me & my Monkey YouTube channel Facebook Fretboard's "resident pedal supremo" - mgaw
JM build | Pedalboard plans
Gretsch- new
My Faith Acoustic was second hand.
That was easy.
That said, this year I've bought (& subsequently sold) 6 second hand guitars.
I bought a ric 330 new and a year later a used 360 which was slightly more money.
Also only 3 are from coda which is crazy as most of my gear since 1990 has come from them.
