Anybody else bought a guitar for what it looks like?

Going back to the original topic, I’d say there’s a hell of a lot of people buying a guitar solely on looks.

So many are buying from Sweetwater and other online sites. Instead of the days of going into a shop and trying out guitars, you just look at the pics, often times just on a phone. You click the purchase button, pay your money and wait for it to arrive.

If you don’t like it you send it back. :D

That last part....

I would NEVER buy a guitar without playing it. Not in a million years. Until I learned how forgiving return policies had become. Ive since bought that SoCal above and a gold top LP (2017) without playing them.

I think 8 or so of mine were bought used without playing them first.
 
I'm not knocking veneer. I'll buy a guitar with veneer if it looked good.
That guitar has a plastic rim around the top, which really says veneer.

It's possible that looks have something to do with it for me...
