Please read.
I recently sold this neck on ebay only to have the buyer return it to me today.
His reason being there is slight chip in the lacquer at the bottom edge of the skunk stripe behind the second fret which would make his thumb uncomfortable when playing?
To be totally honest I'd never noticed it when photographing it for the listing, I'm not saying it wasn't there, but I didn't pick up on it if it was.
The neck had been stood on a 5 way rack for around two months, so it I suppose it could have had a knock.
Anyway, on running my thumb over it cannot see how it would make anyone uncomfortable.
I thought ok, the buyer isn't happy, I'll accept the return, even though I state no returns. I didn't want a ? hanging over my 100% ebay feedback.
The Return.
It has arrived back with damage to the lacquer on the headstock, something that was certainly not there when I sent it!
The buyer claims the was damage was done in transit on it's way to him, though he never mentioned this extra damage during any contact for the return,
even after he'd taken a photo of it himself??? The neck was well packaged and internally protected with bubble wrap. it was returned in the same packaging and there is no signs of damage to the box.
Obviously I cannot prove this, but I suspect the buyer caused this extra damage in an attempt to make his case stronger in the event that I may refuse to accept the return.
This neck is totally playable and the truss rod works perfectly.
Due to the extra lacquer chip, I'm putting it up at a lower price than it was on ebay.
Photo's were taken for the ebay listing, apart from the final two close ups.
Price includes P&P,
Any questions please feel free to message me.
