WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A GUITAR
1.DOES THE GUITAR STAY IN TUNE?
Ask a store employee to tune the guitar to open tuning so you can play a few notes. There are two justifications for this.
First off, if the playing sounds awful, it's probably not the salesperson—who is probably a competent guitarist—because the guitar is a challenging instrument to play. Checking the action is the second justification for tuning the instrument.
2. FINISHING OF INSTRUMENT
When buying a new guitar in the beginners' market, the guitar's finish is a very important step to consider. There shouldn't be any scratch or cracks in it. The fact that guitars are frequently left in stores for a long periods of time implies that many people who are just starting to learn the instrument have already tried it out. Therefore, thoroughly inspect the instrument before purchasing and ensure that it has no scratches, especially close to the sound hole and fret board. The joints must all be precisely glued and the guitar should be free of any cracks to provide a secure grip.
Most essential, you need to check that the frets near the bottom of the fret board are properly placed or glued. If the guitar is poorly finished and the frets are not positioned correctly, as shown in the picture, it can cut the players' fingertips. Your hand should feel smooth while moving across the fret board, not uneven or pointed near the top or bottom of the fret board.
3. IS THE GUITAR NECK STRAIGHT?

Check the guitar neck for any bends or curves. The neck of your guitar should be straight to avoid the strings' rubbing against the frets while you play.
Playing the guitar might be more challenging if it has a bow or back bow, especially for beginners. Ask an expert if you're unclear of how to determine your guitar's neck relief. They need to be able to examine your guitar neck, spot any potential issues, and correct it as necessary.
4. TUNING PEGS MOVEMENT
Tuning peg movement must be precise and smooth. Move the tuning pegs on the guitar in a clockwise and anticlockwise manner before you buy it. Movement shouldn't be too rigid or you risk damaging the guitar's tuning head. Additionally, tuning pegs shouldn't be too loose. When playing the guitar, the tuning will fall out if it is more loose than usual.
Useful Tip: Whenever buying a new guitar always move the tuning pegs slowly or else you might break the strings and end up getting kicked out from the store.
5. ARE YOU COMFORTABLY REACHING THE ENTIRE FRETBOARD?
if the guitar sounds well and the action doesn't appear to be seriously out of whack. To check if any of the metal fret ends are protruding, run your finger over the neck's each sides.
You may probably locate another guitar or bass that doesn't already have that issue if you feel some strings that aren't level with the wood. This doesn't mean the instrument is bad or that the brand or model aren't good. If you're purchasing a new instrument, there's no need to bother with frets that aren't level with the wood because they can be corrected.
BUYING A NEW GUITAR VS. BUYING USED GUITAR
A young guitarist can upgrade to a professional-level guitar by purchasing a used one. Many professional guitarists use fifty to sixty year old vintage models from companies like Fender and Gibson. High-end guitars will age nicely if maintained.

However, producers frequently use wood that is softer and metal that is thinner (weaker) to create guitars that are more affordable by using materials that don't last as long. Thus, it might be best decision of buying a new guitar as your first instrument. However, if you're purchasing used, be extra cautious and attentive to all of the potential problems mentioned above. If you're still unsure, take a look at these additional factors:
