Should I buy this used Gibson Flying V from GC?
I can play a lot of Metalica, I'm good at guitar. I already have an Epi Les Paul standard and a KH-202. The Faded V is $499, its used at Guitar Center. The strings aren't brand new (expected), but the fretboard on the neck looks sorta worn out. Well not worn out, maybe a little dirty. If I cleaned it would it clear up? I just don't know about this guitar. I played it twice, but it was a V so I couldn't get the full feel without standing up, (it didn't have a strap.) Can anyone give me some insight, thanks.
I don't think guitar center does a very good job at dealing with used instruments. If you have a local craigslist site then I would use that instead. 500 is not a bad price if it is in good condition/ doesn't buzz, etc... .if you do buy, make them throw in a few packs of strings (they probably expect to anyway) and try to get them to drop the price by 50 bucks or so.
As far as cleaning a vintage instrument... depends. some stuff will clean, some will not. make sure to ask about any flaws... if they claim it WILL clean up, then you have a reason to return it if it doesn't.
They might be more interested in selling than you think. I would say I want 3 packs of strings (preferably DR's), a decent strap, and I'll pay 440... and see what they say. Do it on a wed afternoon when the place is empty and the salesperson might just want to get some kind of sale going even if it means less commission for them.
In general, I prefer to buy direct from people rather than a store like Guitar Center.
-good luck!!
