Before you buy a used Flying V

  • Check the serial number and the neck date. Ask for a photo of the serial (on the headstock or neck plate) and match it to the year the seller gives. A serial that doesn't fit the model's years is a warning sign.
  • Look at the frets. Grooves under the strings on the first few frets mean a fret dress or refret soon, which costs £100–£350. Listings that say "set up" or "refret" are tagged above.
  • Ask what's been changed. Swapped pickups, tuners or bridges are common and fine to play, but a stock guitar holds its value better. Tick "Stock (not modified)" to hide the guitars whose title says they're upgraded.
  • Check the headstock for a repair. Gibson and Epiphone headstocks snap more than most. A well-done repair plays fine but takes 30–50% off the value, so it should be in the title and the price.
  • Be wary of a price far below typical. Fakes (especially of Gibson, Martin and Fender Custom Shop) and scams are priced well under the going rate to look like a bargain. We flag anything 35%+ under similar listings and never count it as a deal. Our fake guitar checklist has more.
  • Think about postage. A guitar needs a proper box and careful packing. Many sellers offer collection only: the location is shown on every listing.
  • Pay through eBay. eBay's Money Back Guarantee only covers you if you pay through eBay. Never pay by bank transfer outside it, however good the deal.

It can be. Pay through eBay so the Money Back Guarantee covers you, buy from sellers with a long, positive feedback record and ask for photos of the serial number, the neck and the frets.
