Why Buy a Pre-Loved Instrument?

Vintage & pre-loved instruments can be a more affordable entry point for beginners or a cost-effective way for seasoned players to add to their collection. The depreciation factor that affects all new purchases has already been accounted for, meaning you often get more instrument for your money. Some pre-loved instruments may have qualities or tonal characteristics that have been enhanced over time, particularly with used guitars, where the wood's aging can enrich the sound.

Used Guitars

Purchasing a vintage & pre-loved instrument, such as used guitars, offers a myriad of benefits. These instruments often come with a rich history and unique character that can't be replicated by new ones. Used guitars can offer something new ones can’t; warmth. The more you play a guitar, the more worn the components become. This is where the warmer sound comes from. Vintage & pre-loved instruments are not just tools for making music; they're artifacts that tell stories, making them incredibly appealing to collectors and musicians.

Used Guitar Pedals

One way musicians alter their sound is through guitar pedals. Metal genre music requires a heavy distortion to give a more aggressive appeal. The Boss MT-2 Metal Zone pedal is one of the most popular metal distortion pedals on the market, and buying it used can save you over £50.

Used Microphones

The best microphones on the market can be excessively expensive. Recording quality microphones can be over £1000, especially if they are studio quality valve condenser mics. A brand-new SE Electronics Z5600A Condenser Microphone can cost over £700, whereas you can currently purchase it second hand from Fair Deal Music for £299.

Choosing Pre-Loved Over New

Vintage & pre-loved instruments are more than a financial decision; it's a choice that affects the instrument's feel, sound, and connection to history. Many musicians argue that older instruments, especially used guitars, have a 'broken-in' feel that makes them more comfortable to play. The sound of a well-aged guitar is often described as more resonant and fuller, thanks to the wood maturing and settling over the years.
