Guide To Buying Guitars Online

Buying anything from online retailers can often be the most convenient and cost effective way of shopping, however, buying a Guitar online can be a very daunting experience for even the most experienced guitarists so we have put together a list of what we consider the most important things to consider when you are ready to Buy a Guitar Online.

  1. Always buy from a real Guitar shop, avoid buying a Guitar from stores like Argos, Supermarkets,  Ebuyer etc, stores like these may be great for buying a cheap laptop, camera or flat pack table but when it comes to Guitars and other Musical Instruments these people know nothing about what they are selling you.
  2. Check for returns / exchange policys. Remember all Guitars are different from each other, you could play 10 Guitars of the same make and model and they will all feel or sound different in one way or another, a good online Guitar retailer should offer a period in which you can return the instrument for a full refund or exchange.
  3. Dont be frightened of asking for help! On any online Guitar shop there should be a telephone number you can call to speak to experienced staff who can help assist with your purchase or any questions you may have about an item you may be interested in.
  4. Look out for package deals / bundles. So you're spending a fair amount on a nice new Electric Guitar and you would like a Guitar Case to keep or transport it in, some online shops offer discounted cases / accessories when you are purchasing the Guitar, you may save £10 on a case for example if you buy at the same time as the Guitar, the extra you are paying for adding the case on may also be enough for you to qualify for free delivery in which case you may save twice!
  5. Is the Guitar set up and ready to play straight out of the box?.. Make sure the retailer you are buying from checks their Guitars over before despatching them, Guitars need to be "set up" every now and then. . a bit like a service on a car, this could mean checking the neck is straight, the intonation and action are set correctly or just that the strings are new, if you have to take a Guitar into a store to be set up this could cost you £30+
Here at Vision Guitars we are proud to say we offer all of the above so not only can we offer you a great Guitar at a great price but we can guarantee that when it gets to you its ready to play straight from the box!
