Need some advice. Found a guitar to buy on marketplace. A maga is selling it for a super low price. Do I give him my money or pass? It’s worth noting that it’s a brand I’ve never seen and looks very unusual.
@VegaTheChosen I’m sure it is and China is a crapshoot
@SGP90 I would decide based on your abiity to throw away the amount of money that you consider "super low price". Is there any way to try it in advance, do you have to buy it blind? What makes it so special and why not look for that feature in a known brand? that's how I would approach thinking about this.
@Amyfb that’s a good way to look at it. Yes the price is well within budget. Yes I will get to play it. The big brands are great and everyone should try them but an unknown brand might just be the hidden gem with the sound and feel of your dreams. Most likely not but you never know.
@SGP90 You're overthinking. Just buy it if you want it.
@SGP90 My husband sells guitars for a living. What's the brand and how much?
@Roary it’s a hundred bucks and looks to be an ovation knockoff. Electronics are fishman and the brand is Sonica with another word that I can’t make out and the guy doesn’t know either.
@SGP90 He hasn't heard of that brand, sorry.
@SGP90 if the person is a proud MAGAt, I would hard pass. That money will probably go straight to Chik-Fil-A. I refuse to support anyone who believes in that movement. They’re just as bad as Proud Boys or QAnon.
@SGP90 it's probably made in China. But I say give it a good home.
