Buying Guide: Electric Guitars

Whether you're after a vintage Stratocaster or a modern boutique build, The Exchange reviews every listing before it goes live. Our sellers provide detailed condition assessments covering fret wear, electronics, neck relief, and finish condition.

Fret Wear Tells the Story

Frets are the first thing to check on a used electric guitar. Light wear is cosmetic; deep grooves cause buzzing and intonation issues. A refret costs $300-500+. Our condition assessment rates fret condition.

Check the Truss Rod

A functional truss rod is essential. If it's maxed out, the neck can't be properly adjusted. This is a potential deal-breaker on vintage instruments.

Electronics and Pickups

Scratchy pots and intermittent switches are common in older guitars and usually cheap to fix ($50-150). Modified electronics can add or subtract value depending on the modification.

Original vs. Modified

For vintage guitars, originality is king. Replaced parts can significantly decrease value. For modern guitars, quality modifications (better pickups, locking tuners) often add value.
