    Man great video. I feel like why I didn't watch this before buying my first guitar. I bought my first guitar online, it had the problem of bridge subsidence, but I didn't understand it as I was beginner at that time. Now I am going to buy new guitar after 3 years. Lucky me I found this video

    To begin with you should be OK. Just make sure you trust the person you are buying from and it is never a good thing to spend too much on a first guitar. I only knew 3 chords when I got my first guitar . . it wasn't perfect but I had it for several years and learned a lot on it.

    Yes. I literally knew zero chords when I bought my first guitar, I just had the previous owner play it for me. In hindsight, it wasn't a good guitar but it worked fine enough for me. I've since sold it and its onto a new owner

    Yes . . they aren't expensive. The new ones are usually semi blank and need to be shaped with a file. You have to buy a new one and shape it so it is the same height and shape as the old one or the height and shape you want and then just put it in place of the old one.

    Sorry, that question is impossible for me to answer. It depends on so much . . what country your in ? do you want electric or acoustic ? how sure you are you will commit ? How much money do you have ? etc. etc. But the good thing is that even if you give up, you can sell the guitar and get most of or all your money back, if you keep it in good condition.
