More info:

I have satisfied customers and references in Canada, Italy, Spain, France, UK, Sweden, Finland, Thailand, New Zealand, and Japan. I will gladly use video chat with a webcam to demo the instruments for you or send a video file. I am based in SWEDEN.

Satisfied customer references on demand and plenty of personal references from professional musicians. I am selling a few guitars and stringed instruments since the instrument room is too crowded and I have scaled down my collection.  Wire bank transfer payment before shipping. PayPal is possible too but 4% will be added to the price for PayPal costs, and await shipment until payment clears to my bank. You can also come and collect the guitar in person, if you live in Sweden, and have a look at the other gear! I even had a customer from Japan come in person for a vintage Gibson mandolin!
SHIPPING/Postage will be added if not picked up in person.
