I to an extent understand the instrument business and that retailing "new" instruments is nearly impossible at scale. I also want the item shipped to me with the protections and experience of the manufacturer not some jank ebay pack job.

Is it crazy to want a new from manufacturer instrument? I give up the opportunity to test the instrument in person for what I expect to be a new item free of shit like scratches from shirt buttons and belt buckles. Of course it came not in original packaging, in a box 10 times the size of the travel case, not strapped in its case so just. its from a Guitar Center not any Guitar Center either, the one geographically furthest away from me in the United States.

I eventually got the guitar back to Musicians Friend at my own hassle the biggest part being that the box they shipped to me was completely destroyed either in transit or reused.īecause my purchase was fairly large I had enough credit to buy another instrument which I used to purchase a Ukulele, one of the most expensive that they sell. A quick google showed me that in my 20 years away from instrument purchasing some things had changed.

Even though working with a rep that guaranteed me I would be sent a new item from a warehouse I was shipped a guitar from Musicians Friend covered in scratches and dirt and need of repair. A few months ago I ordered a new Yamaha guitar from Musicians Friend.
