Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Great buy for the buck!

This is a great-sounding piece of equipment that you will not be disappointed with. Note: If you are purchasing from somewhere warm like me (Palm Springs), keep in mind Indiana is very cold at times. During the time I bought mine, which was around February, I checked the weather in Fort Wayne and the daily average was about 14 degrees. Here in Palm Springs, it was averaging 84 degrees. A huge difference! My point is, during transport the weather will surely untune and mess with the action and especially the intonation of your guitar and you WILL have to adjust it when it arrives. Fear not...it took me all of 10 minutes and it sounds perfect!

This bass is the best for beginners

Like I said, it's the best for the beginners being very cheap. Where it falls apart is the Low B string with the pre amp not the best for capturing the lowest of the grungy Bs and if you want to go any lower than the B, it falls apart.

Ive had this bass for multiple years and about 2 sets of strings from other companies than the D'Aadario strings they came with and i cannot find the strings that make the B sound crisp and full of attack, even adjusting the saddles to a lower action (which i find help the lower b strings) does not help.

The amount of ringing i hear from the bridge and saddles also is quite a problem, but if you adjust and get the truss rods in a good enough position then they should be fine.

The quality matches the price.
