Sound & Playability
These Korean-made Brian May guitars are really fun to play. Wide flat neck with beautiful ebony fretboard. Locking Grover mini-Rotomatic tuners and Wilkinson tremolo bridge. Plays great all around the neck. No issues. All electronics work like they should. Original bag and trem bar included. My price is exactly what you'd pay on the Brian May site after shipping, but you'll save at least 15% in tariff fees, and avoid delay and risk of overseas shipping. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
