!±8± 3 Used Fender Guitars You Can Afford

When it comes to finding high-end performance for a mid-level price there might be no better way to go than a used fender guitar.

Here are 3 different Fender models to guide you as a you look for a discount used guitar.

Option No.1: The World-Famous Stratocaster

Whether it's the bluesy sound of Eric Clapton or the spacey vibe of David Gilmour, slinging a Fender Stratocaster over your shoulder is an expressway to ultra-cool.

If you're looking for an old-fashioned vintage vibe, go with the Fender American Standard. (It's all about the single-coil pick ups.) Though they can go over a grand, when new, used models can usually be located for about 600 dollars or less.

For the more budget-conscious, another option if the Fender Standard Strat. Created in a Fender factory in Mexico, this fine-sounding guitar can generally be found used for about 1-200 dollars.

Looking for Stratocaster used fender guitars for under 200 dollars? Go with a Squier Stratocaster. These models made in places like China and Indonesia may not have the same exact high-end strat sound, but they're perfect for beginner's and part-time players.

Option No.2: The Fender Telecaster

If you're more in the market for a brighter sound than looking at a used telecaster might be the way for you to go. Like the Stratocaster, Tellys come in a variety of model levels--such as the Telecaster Standard and, more expensive, Telecaster American Standard.

But some of the biggest deals can be had with the Fender Telecaster American Deluxe. This high-end model has a Strat-like contoured body-for comfort-but has all the signature bright output of a Fender Telecaster.

Option No.3: Going Acoustic

Fender built its reputation on Leo Fender's electric guitar. But some of the most underrated-and best sounding-guitars are acoustic used fender guitars.

Options like the Starcaster acoustic or the DG8S offer fine craftsmanship and awesome tone. (They also tend to hold onto their overall value--a great asset when buying used guitars.)

For those who like one-stop shopping there are also a ton of Fender acoustic guitar kits-whether Starcaster or like-where you can get a tuner, strings, case along with a really excellent guitar.
