Sold As Is
Guitar was sold new on 7/7/16. Buyer reported issues of buzzing on the A and D strings on 7/27/16. An authorized Martin luthier said the saddle was bad on 8/22/16. Guitar was then taken to the Martin factory on 9/8/16 where they verified that the guitar was defective. Different size saddles and strings did not fix the problem. The guitar was returned to us on 9/16/16. At this point we are unsure what the problem exactly is. Heavy pick scratching that starts at the top of sound hole on the bass side, runs across the bottom of the fingerboard, and goes through the pick guard. There's a hole in the neck heel from an aftermarket strap button installation. Bottom strap button removed from an aftermarket pickup installation. Guitar is structurally sound. No other flaws found. Includes hardshell case and strap buttons. Please see the photos above; they are of the actual item for sale.
We receive used gear on a daily basis. Some with slight cosmetic flaws, functionality issues, and sometimes it is completely broken. Our goal is to move it out of our warehouse ASAP! After the product is tested and photos are taken; it is boxed, sealed, and stored in our warehouse. We are unable to provide additional pictures. Everything we know about condition, functionality and included accessories is stated here. We do our best to describe everything as accurately as we can. Please know that if there is a deeper problem not found from our initial testing, repair is up to the buyer. Bid accordingly. Maybe conservatively. Thank you for understanding that we're selling this as-is, and pass the as-is savings onto you.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Items are shipped within one business day of payment. To avoid a lost or stolen item, your package may ship "Signature Required." If you have special shipping instructions or would like your item shipped UPS instead of USPS or FedEx, please contact us before you make a purchase. Orders shipping to Indiana or picked up locally will be charged a 7% sales tax. PLEASE NOTE: Shipping quotes are estimates only. We use eBay’s shipping calculator, which provides estimated shipping charges on listings where “Free Shipping” is not offered. If you estimate shipping with a zip code that is different than the zip code registered to your User ID, eBay’s shipping calculator will make the adjustment at checkout. Additionally, FedEx charges a surcharge for delivery in certain rural areas of the country that does not, for some reason, show up in eBay’s estimate calculator; but it does at checkout (we wish we could control this, but we can’t — we have contacted eBay many times about this issue). FedEx does this based on the +4 extension of your primary 5-digit zip code. For example, eBay’s shipping calculator may quote you one price based on your primary 5-digit zip, and then figure out that your requested street address at checkout places you within the rural surcharge area, changing the shipping price to an alternate amount that was originally quoted. RETURN INFORMATION
We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If the item you receive is not as described or has been damaged in shipping, please contact us immediately. We will make every effort to promptly resolve any problem. Your satisfaction is our top priority. We are happy to offer free shipping on some of the items we offer. Please note that if you decide to return something where free shipping was offered, our shipping costs are non-refundable. AG
