Purchase

To order an instrument, first CALL or FAX to confirm that the instrument is still available. In order to minimize returns (see below), we prefer not to ship any instrument until we have discussed the instrument with you directly. It is important to discern exactly what you expect from each instrument. We will actually tell you whether this instrument will or will not meet you expectations before we ship! Your total satisfaction is our ultimate goal. Click here for testimonials from satisfied customers.

Please feel free to contact us for more information on any instrument. If you have more questions: Call Lou at 908-403-3426 9am and 7pm EST , for a complete in-hand description of the instrument.

Viewing an Instrument In Person- If you are within driving distance of New York City, please call for an appointment to preview an instrument in person. We are located in NJ thirty minutes from NYC.

Placing An Instrument On Hold - The best way to place an instrument on hold immediately is by phoning, faxing or emailing a valid VISA or MC number. Your card will be charged when the parcel is ready to ship. If paying by check or money order, we'll extend a courtesy hold while your payment is in transit. Hold time is one week for domestic orders, where a payment is en route by mail. Holds are accepted only for instruments that have been priced. For priority notification on instruments in transit or in the shop that have not yet been priced, contact us.

Layaways/Deferred Payments- A non-refundable deposit of 25% may be accepted to reserve any instrument for up to 30 days. Layaway orders are shipped on receipt of balance due. Note: instruments held on layaway are not eligible for return on approval.

Payment- You may purchase your instrument by VISA/Mastercard , Amex, Paypal, money order, certified check, bank wire, in which case your order will be shipped by the next business day. (For payment by bank wire, please email for bank routing information.) Personal or company checks are welcome, and ship next day after check clearance. To send payment by check, please email for our mailing address. To place an order, call Lou @ 908-403-3426 9am and 9pm EST.

Shipping (click here for more shipping information) The most cost-efficient air delivery in the continental US is by UPS 3 Day Select. We prefer to ship on a Monday or Tuesday, to keep your parcel from languishing in a warehouse or truck over a weekend. Every instrument is meticulously packed and padding in carrier-approved guitar boxes, and each parcel is fully insured against damage or loss in transit. Depending on distance and value, UPS Three Day delivery is about $95 within the continental US, for a guitar and case, fully insured. UPS Ground shipping runs about $45, and can take up to 7 business days to the East Coast of the US. Accessories are generally $5-$15 via Priority Mail. On shipment, we will forward the tracking number of your parcel to you by email, so you can track the progress of your order at will. Second-day, overnight, and international air shipping are also available at additional charge. Send us your zip code for a more precise quote on any given item.
