Disclosure: I try to make pictures that describe the general condition of the guitar and usually do not remove pickguards, necks, pickups or dig into control cavities to check pots.

Otherwise returns will be accepted only if the buyer compensates the shipping cost. I usually have my guitars setup with low action and perfect intonation, but due to the climate difference further adjustment might be necessary when the guitar arrives to you.
