Advice wanted - did I get a good deal?

kylezo · 9th October 2008

Ok, everyone, I know eBay can be risky, but I also know that I have never been burned and I have bought some amazing stuff on eBay. So I just got a new guitar, and since I am still learning a lot about electric guitars (I am an acoustic guy), I wanted to see some opinions of the price I got for this guitar. I know it's tough to tell through an auction and just pictures, but I thought I'd ask anyways.

This is the auction, final price after shipping and tax is $336.

I think it's telling that they don't mention the make of the instrument. Was it a good deal? $300. is not a lot to pay. Who knows it might sound great. I wouldn't have advised it, but if it's worth the money to you, what difference does it make what we think?

Play it. Enjoy it.

Thanks, richie. The brand is Gitano. I have been looking very closely at their acoustics, which seem like very good guitars. I was looking at one that I lost, and I'm trying to keep in touch with the guy who did win it to ask him how it plays.

I'll definitely look forward to trying it out!
