Welcome to NorthShoreGuitars! I’m a lifelong guitarist and gear enthusiast based in Canada, with a passion for unique, great-playing instruments. I focus on interesting, collectible, and great-playing instruments.
Every guitar I list is carefully inspected, cleaned, and set up with fresh strings, so it arrives ready to play and enjoy. I take pride in honest listings with detailed photos and descriptions. What you see is exactly what you’ll get.
I may be new on Reverb, but I’ve been buying, selling, and maintaining guitars for years. My focus is on offering instruments that combine quality, character, and reliability. Each item is shipped fast, packed securely (case or gig bag when available, always well protected), and fully insured.
If you have any questions about a listing, feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to talk guitars.
Shipping Policy
NorthShoreGuitars – Shipping & Policies
At NorthShoreGuitars, I take great care in making sure your instrument arrives safe, secure, and exactly as described. Please review the following shipping details before purchase:
Packing & Protection
• All guitars are shipped in a hard case or gig bag (unless otherwise noted).
• Instruments are fully bubble-wrapped and secured inside the case to prevent movement.
• Cases are packed in sturdy shipping cartons with added cushioning to protect against impact.
• Every shipment is fully insured for the purchase price.
Shipping Timeframe
• Orders ship within 24–48 hours after cleared payment.
• Tracking information is provided as soon as the item leaves my hands.
• Signature confirmation is required on delivery.
Shipping Destinations
• USA & Canada: Standard rates listed on each item.
• International Buyers: Please contact me before purchase for an exact shipping quote.
• I do not ship directly to freight forwarders unless previously agreed. Using a forwarding service is at the buyer’s own risk.
Weight & Dimensions
• Shipping weights listed in each ad include the guitar, case, and packaging.
• Final weight may vary slightly once packed (this does not affect your shipping cost if already quoted).
Customs, Duties & Taxes
• Buyers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or brokerage fees charged by their country.
• Instruments are declared accurately (no undervaluing or “gift” marking).
• U.S. buyers: Most guitars are duty-free under the USMCA, but state sales tax may still apply at checkout.
Address Policy
• Orders are shipped to the address provided at checkout.
• Once shipped, I cannot change the delivery address. If you need adjustments, contact me immediately before the order is dispatched.
Returns & Refunds
• All sales are final unless the item arrives not as described.
• In the rare event of shipping damage, please contact me immediately so I can open an insurance claim.
U.S. Buyers: Please note that all shipments from Canada to the U.S. now require a customs broker. Buyers are responsible for assigning a broker and paying any customs or brokerage fees to ensure delivery.
My Promise
I want you to feel 100% confident buying from NorthShoreGuitars. I treat every guitar like it’s my own and go the extra mile to ensure a smooth, stress-free transaction.
