Why buy anything less than what you saved up to buuy?
ehh,300 bux(or about 242 euros) is a big chunk of change

This is a Scratch and Dent item. What does that mean? These items are primarily products that have been previously returned by other customers. They are products that may have some cosmetic flaws such as scratches or nicks, or may be slightly experienced. Either way, they are guaranteed to function perfectly.

I don't think it's that extreme. A couple dings in the body or a couple scratches on the headstock isn't much and worth it in my opinion, and 45 day risk free satisfaction is also quite appealing. It's not like the neck or something is damaged. I saw a guitar discounted 200 dollars at a guitar center because the backside of the neck got stained in a spot about he size of a dime by something used to mark boxes for packaging somehow.
