Resale value probably not much to write home about. Buy it because you love
it, not because it'll be worth anything in 10 years. With that in mind I'd
say that you need to play a guitar before you buy it. I'm not much on buying
guitars without having played them and plugged them in. Unless wheeling
and dealing on ebay is something you enjoy!
