VAT Refund on Used Musical Instruments

VAT Refund on Used Musical Instruments - Drum Stick on Drum Top

A quote from gov.uk regarding tax-free shopping:

Goods you cannot get a refund for

You cannot get a VAT refund for:

....

goods you’ve already used in the EU, such as perfume

....

To me it feels a little ambiguous. It's very easy to tell if you have used a perfume, but how about durable goods that are purchased in a used state?

To simplify, my question is: if I buy a used guitar or a guitar accessory in a shop in London, will I be able to get a tax refund? Is the process somehow differrent?

Thanks
