For high priced Vintage instruments, we highly recommend that you either have a local friend try the Instrument or come in and try it in person. CONSIGNED GEAR: Some of the gear in the Guitar Showcase eBay store is listed on behalf of a consignor.  These pieces are not the property of Guitar Showcase and as such we can accept no returns on any consigned equipment.  Consigned gear is also subject to the same stipulations as Used and Vintage gear, as described above.  Please make sure to contact us with any questions you may have before bidding on or buying any consignment item.   INTERNATIONAL SALES: Some listed items that contain Rosewood and other protected species may be ineligible for international sale; please make sure to read listing details carefully.
