ITEM CONDITION
All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Surface marks
and scuffing and scratches, finish is aged (not fully gloss), it has impressions/dings/dimples/dents/chips,
machinery has some tarnish and aging/spotting, some small paint chips mostly on
body edges, light buckle rash rear body, the “380” of SL30 on the truss cover
has been scratched out - as pictured. Found that an extra nut has been added in
front of the truss nut to give more room to tighten. The truss is all working
as it should, but this addition has slightly raised/warped the truss cover

Proudly, our packaging is at the highest of standards, with the best reputation
you will find anywhere in the industry. This comes from 1500+ guitars (and
counting) being sent without issue both Australia wide and internationally over
many, many years. A great amount of pride and detail goes into making sure
every item arrives safe and in a timely manner. Pedals and small items are
packed in multiple layering of bubble wrap and double corrugated shipping
cardboard. Guitars, pending the instrument, have strings de tuned so there is
no tension on the neck and headstock. Neck/body /headstock are wrapped
separately in multiple bubble wrap layers, high density foam and/or cardboard
reinforced. If applicable it is then placed in gig/soft case or hard case. If
in gig/soft case it is once again bubble wrapped/foam reinforced before being
boxed. Each package/box is custom cut and fit in heavy duty double corrugated
shipping cardboard. All voids are padded out and the body edge, base, and top
of head stock foam reinforced/padded. Finally, the boxing will have copious
amounts of high visibility “Fragile” and “This way up” warning labels.
--- We are also extremely environmentally conscious. We re use and recycle almost all bubble wrap,
foam, and cardboard packaging material from our orders in.
