Bought a beautiful Airline Tuxedo the other day from Reverb. I cringed when the seller shipped the guitar USPS. I have had necks sticking out of packages with a clear baggie over the headstock with an adhesive label stating ‘sorry we damaged your mail’. Seller assured me ‘I’ve done it before… all is good’. I saw the guitar was insured and sent priority mail so it wasn’t going to take long to get to me.
I almost had a heart attack when the post lady rang my doorbell and handed me a soft gig bag with a mailing label stuck to the top of it. She carried it like she was going to a gig and dropped it off at my house. Inside the guitar was wrapped with 1/4” used bubble wrap. No box.
AMAZINGLY I find no damage. The guy removed the pick guard and put the screws wrapped up in paper in the zip pocket. 1 screw and 1 shoulder are missing. That is it.
Tuxedo and I have bonded. Considering he is my miracle child I figured it was meant to be.
For the seller I really don’t know what to say but I think his ship method will catch up to him.
