■ Our Vintage Guitar Policy

We specialize in Japanese vintage and used guitars and have extensive experience handling, inspecting, and shipping instruments worldwide.

All items listed are physically in our inventory and personally inspected by the owner prior to listing.

Before shipment, each guitar receives the following basic maintenance:

• Cleaning and polishing of body, neck, and hardware
• Fingerboard conditioning and fret cleaning
• Basic neck adjustment and action check
• Verification of electronics and controls

As most instruments we offer are vintage, additional setup may be required to match the buyer’s playing style, string gauge, tuning preference, and local climate conditions.

We recommend that final adjustments such as detailed neck setup, intonation, or fret work be performed by the buyer or a qualified local technician.

By leaving the final personalized setup to the new owner, we are able to maintain fair pricing while preserving originality and transparency.
