Darren Hippner Bernabe Classical 2023 Mohawk Nitro Lacquer

I bought the guitar new and have hardly played it at all (too many guitars, too litttle time!), so it's in an almost new condition with no structural issues, cracks, bumps or scratches. It's been kept in its hard shell case with D'Addario Humidipaks.

The guitar comes with its almost new hard shell case. I will ship it with D'Addario Humidipaks and a set of strings (though the current strings are fine - they're black nylon if anyone's wondering).

The guitar is beautiful to look at - take a look at the binding/purfing - and a joy to play. I'm only selling this guitar with a few of my other guitars in order to raise funds because of some unfortunate life circumstances.

Shipping and returns:

I ship to continental US only. I expect to ship the guitar to you within 1-2 business days after the order is confirmed. I use FedEx Ground, which typically delivers within 4 business days.

I accept returns in the original condition that are shipped within 3 days after the receipt as indicated by FedEx tracking. If returning the guitar, the buyer pays for the return FedEx Ground shipping. Once I receive the guitar in the original condition, I will refund the cost of the guitar that the buyer paid but not the shipping costs.

There is an option for in person pickup from Boston, so you can save on the shipping. However, there are no returns if you pick up the guitar in person.
