Where can I buy a JS1000 for $500-$750

[Silvercool]

Hi, I want to buy a JS model I've heard good things about them... But I think its too expensive to pay 1600$ when you can get it for less and in great condition, I've been looking on ****, but I don't trust too much buying instruments in ****... anyways I want a guitar with minimal scratch's and possibly no dents... the price range I'm willing to pay for now is between $500 and possibly 750$

At 500-750 I can say with a certain amount of conviction that you'd be buying a guitar with some sort of issue attached to it. It would likely be either absolutely abused, ruined, stolen or a fake. If it's not over 1000 I'd be suspicious. When you find one you like make sure the seller has 100% feedback and read all of it. Also see if this person has any experience selling. Sometimes there are sellers with a 200+ rating but then you find that 199 were buying GI Joes and this is only sale. Do your homework and you should be ok.

I picked up a used '00 JS1000 at the local guitar center for like $650. It has a few tiny nicks and I had to clean the fretboard up but otherwise it's in great condition. You just gotta keep an eye out!

lol, sounds a bit tough... but I'll keep my eye for it, also how can I know if its an imitation, or a fake js1000??? because I want the real deal...

Just keep your eye out for 1000bp's. You can find them at good prices but, you just have to wait. I bought one for $750 and it didn't have anything wrong with it.
