Reading guitar reviews before you buy can often be a crucial part of purchasing a guitar. Namely, it's important for two reasons.

Firstly, it gives you more than one opinion on the product you're considering buying. You can read the details that are important, see specs, and generally learn more information about the guitar.

Secondly, reading reviews on various instruments allows you to compare the price before you buy. buying from a brick and mortar store doesn't give you an opportunity to look at the prices at other stores. Online, you do have this opportunity.
