Where would I find a beat up guitar?
I'm looking for an old beat up guitar to fix up, but I can't find one anywhere. Do you guys have any suggestions on where to look?

craigslist? Ebay? Specifically looking for beaten up guitars is something of a niche thing though so you might not have much luck...

I call it "well used." Lol. Or if still in decent shaped, "loved." But yeah Pawn Shops are great to start with, plus you can talk'em down on the price. |

ebay, or craigslist I guess if you want to risk getting raped. The best bet is to find a good pawn shop, but that's not always easy. I'd buy a cheapskate new guitar, destroy it myself then upgrade it. It would be fun.

You could put an ad up on Craig's List saying you are looking for a junker guitar. Some college kid with a trashed Squier Strat is bound to contact you sooner or later.

any classified website.
also, I've had luck picking up project guitars from shops with trade in policies, schools and music schools. A local shop in town will give a minimum trade on any guitar, and they get some real beaters. I've had tonnes of luck buying from local junior highs and whatnot who have music programs that involve guitars- they never maintain their guitars properly and cry foul when the things quit working (usually pretty minor stuff...). Their loss, your gain.
