Every guitar in this catalogue has been fully inspected, set up, and play-tested. If it's here, it passed the ChiliSound™ Standard.
A used guitar on a marketplace can mean anything from "barely played" to "one headstock crack away from retirement." We don't list instruments that way.
Every guitar we sell has had its neck relief, action, nut, and intonation checked and adjusted. We clean the fretboard, tighten the hardware, and then play it — for hours — before it goes up. If something feels wrong, we fix it first or we don't list it.
You get photos of actual condition and a written description of everything we found. The listing is what it is — no surprises when it arrives.

Reach out directly. Every listing includes full condition documentation — written descriptions and photos of actual condition. If what you received doesn't match what we described, we'll make it right. The ChiliSound™ Standard means the listing is accurate, not just aspirational.
