Sometimes in this fast paced electronics driven world we lose touch with the
“humanity” that is represented by all of the internet listings and e-mail numbers.
I am a real person; I am not just a number.
I welcome your questions and speaking with you personally.

RETURNS
AddictedToToneInc does not accept returns.
The item listed in this ad is designed to improve the tone
of your Takamine guitar or for replacing a defective component.
I can help you diagnose the problem with your Takamine system.
Please contact me before you order an item you do not actually need.
AddictedToToneInc does not accept returns because of a third parties
ineptitude, specifically “repair technicians” that do not know how to properly
diagnose possible defects of the individual components used in the Takamine
electronic system.
AddictedToToneInc checks each component for possible electronic
defect when the new product is received from Takamine and
verifies its working condition once again before it is shipped.
~
Tested 100%
The item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%
Time is taken to check new product when it arrives from Takamine; electronic components pass through another more thorough audio
and electronics test before being packaged and shipped.
The vintage preamps and used components sold by AddictedToToneInc pass through this same testing process.
Non electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are carefully inspected and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.
Many sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Takamine equipment they are selling and simply send merchandise without
examining the item being sold.
As a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it; most of
my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood an
extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!
My endeavors are not approached as a mere "numbers game" or how many boxes of product I can move, for me it is much more
personal, most of my clients work very hard for their money; I appreciate and respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.
Takamine does a fabulous job with their electronics and there are very few incidents of manufacturer defect; very, very few incidents
but it does occasionally happen.
It is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part
after it has shipped; this is how I have always operated; it takes more of a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they
can trust me to do the job right!
Maybe I am just "old school" but this is the way I feel it should be done.
I have designed, created and employ special testing equipment for the Takamine preamps and electronic componentsbecause it is your
reputation as well as mine at stake when you walk on stage!
Thank you,
William “Bill” Sutherland / AddictedToToneInc / Mr. Takamine USA
