We strive to provide the most detailed descriptions and high-resolution photos to ensure a confident purchase. However, for instruments over 50 years old, please understand and agree to the following terms:
Vintage Nature & Playability: Instruments of this age possess inherent structural sensitivities. While we verify basic functionality, "perfect playability" (action, neck relief, fret wear, tone) is strictly subjective. Any setup or adjustments to suit your personal preference are considered routine maintenance and are the sole responsibility and expense of the buyer.
Cosmetic Condition: Scratches, finish checking, oxidation, and aging are not defects; they are "testaments to history." These conditions do not constitute a reason for "item not as described." Our photos form the primary part of the description.
Environmental Factors: Vintage wood may react to climate shifts during international transit. Minor adjustments upon arrival may be necessary.
NOTICE: By completing your purchase, you acknowledge these vintage characteristics and maintenance requirements. We do not accept returns or refunds for claims of "unrecorded damage," "description discrepancies," or "functional failure" arising from the subjective nature of vintage evaluation or the inherent fragility of 50-year-old components.
Shipping: Shipped via FedEx, DHL, or JP Post with tracking. Available Mon-Fri.
Additional fees may apply for remote areas. We only ship to eBay registered addresses.
Packing: Carefully wrapped in protective materials and packed in a sturdy cardboard box.
Return Policy:
We generally do not accept returns due to the vintage nature of the item. However, if the product is damaged during transit, please contact us immediately.
