Before you buy a used Martin D-35

  • Look at the top and the bridge. Ask for photos along the top from the side: a bulge behind the bridge, or a bridge lifting at its back edge, means a repair is coming. Small finish cracks are cosmetic; cracks in the wood that open and close aren't.
  • Check the action and the neck angle. If the saddle has been sanded right down to get a low action, the guitar may need a neck reset, which costs several hundred pounds.
  • Ask how it's been kept. Acoustics dry out in centrally heated homes. A guitar stored in its case with a humidifier is a better buy than one hung on a wall above a radiator.
  • 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.
