Shipping & Returns

Standard guitar setup, intonation, and weather adjustments are not valid return reasons unless a preference-based return is chosen, and while I carefully pack with recycled materials, photograph the guitar and process, and provide tracking, international buyers are responsible for their country's customs and duties regulations, as failure to comply is not a valid return reason.
