Hi, I'm Dave.
I was a professional guitar player in my younger days and I also worked in one of the Midwest's largest independent music stores as a guitar tech where I did the out-of-the box set-ups on hundreds of new Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Hamer and other guitars.
Guitars have remained a hobby and I now buy and sell on a regular basis. You can be assured that any guitar you buy from me will be perfectly set up and accurately described.
Shipping Policy
I will ship with tracking within the United States.
Pedals, pickups and other small items ship via USPS Priority mail. Guitars, amps and other larger items go by UPS Ground unless other terms are agreed on in advance.
PLEASE NOTE: TO COMPLY WITH REVERB REQUIREMENTS I REQUIRE A SIGNATURE FOR DELIVERY. If this is not acceptable, I'll omit the signature requirement, however, the buyer will be responsible for any claims of non-delivery.
I will consider shipping certain items over $500 internationally, however, I'm not set up to comply with CITES regulations, so I can't ship guitars that contain rosewood or other regulated species outside of the U.S.
Return Policy
New Items
Returnable within 14 days of delivery.
Restocking Fee: 10%
Used & Vintage Items
Returnable within 2 days of delivery.
Restocking Fee: 10%
General Terms
Items must be returned in original, as-shipped condition with all original packaging and no signs of use. Buyer assumes responsibility for all return shipping costs unless the item was not received as described.
Special Conditions
I regret that I can no longer offer an extended free return period due to increases in the costs of shipping and processing fees. I recently had a buyer return a very expensive guitar that was, in his words, "perfect", but he changed his mind and needed money to buy something else. I lost several hundred dollars in non-refundable fees and shipping.
I will always work with a buyer to resolve any genuine issues, shipping damage or other concerns, but I can't provide free trials. Going forward, I will charge a 10% restocking fee on discretionary returns. The Purchaser is responsible for all original and return shipping charges.
