If it holds it's tuning there is no reason not to buy it. People jerk off way too much over their gear. There is no correlation between dick size and how much money was spent on your guitar but it'd be real hard to tell that by listening to people with expendable income talk. Playing a piece of shit guitar that you bought for $70 bucks should be good fun until it breaks (a $70 guitar will break). Buying a used will get you a better guitar for the money. If you don't currently play guitar than you have no idea what you like and it doesn't really matter what you buy right now anyways. My two favorite guitars and the only two I've held on to are far from the most expensive I've ever owned. Gear jerk offs would probably look down on at least one of them, real snobs would look down on both but I love things about how both of them play an they suit my tastes and style. Gear jerk offs would have loved the most expensive guitar I traded but it totally wasn't for me.
