As a drummer who owns many guitars, I don't really play any of them all that often. . . . but they look killer as decoration in my smoke-free, climate-controlled studio. They do get some playing time by the musicians who come to jam and/or record. Therefore, I keep all my guitars in tune, feather dusted, fretboards dressed and will re-string them when necessary. All have had a professional set-up by my local Indianapolis Luthier Grandon Westlund (GW Basses).

*******************************************

My feedback score and online store reputation are important to me. I am an individual independent seller. I will "officially" list the item condition conservatively as all interpretations of the grading scale are highly subjective.

Important to note - During the first 30 days of listing (if it lasts that long) I will not have the "make an offer" active. If you are a serious buyer, please "message seller" and ask questions and/or provide rationale for any offer you might have.

Please understand: I am always open to discuss with a serious buyer, but have had way too many lowball offers on my listings over the years (I am sure you have also). I try to price it right on my first listing, but at times you, the buyer, might know more than me about what I am listing. It won't hurt my feelings. If I missed something, let's talk. I'm not one of those musicians who thinks they know everything about everything. . . .

Shipping:

Insured shipping only to a verified US address (unless otherwise specified in the auction shipping details).

·I don't try to make any profit on shipping/handling. I just want the gear to get to you safe.

·I use the Reverb shipping calculator to be as accurate as possible.

·For heavy-duty boxes, I purchase these at Lowes.

·I will custom-make boxes at times to save costs at the buyers request.

·I try to use recycled boxes and packaging where possible.

Your package might not look beautiful, but will be packed like a tank and I'll take all possible shipping precautions.

Shipping Estimates are based on these “typical” considerations

·Electric Guitar/Bass Box: Generally, 52" x 20" x 8".

·Other gear: I try to custom-make recycled boxes (Amazon, etc.) which minimize shipping costs but maintain high protection.  

·Weight Limit: Unless the instrument is extremely heavy, the total weight will likely be under 30 lbs for standard rates.

·Packing Material: Packed with enough padding (bubble wrap, peanuts, etc.) to prevent movement inside the box and optimal protection.
