hey aero_91, didn't expect you to take it up but then rather than replying thro pm's. I'll reply out here to make it ultra super transparent true bypass. Me and my big mouth.
I'd require upfront payment before I even submit my credit card numbers to ishibashi and I won't entertain you wanting to keep coming to my house to see the guitar if ever that thought may arise.
Keep it simple.
You transfer cash.
You do the communication, you do the leg work with Ishibashi.
I only make the order and submit my CC number.
Guitar arrives I'll inform, I'll take pictures. I'll post it up here.
I won't even be tempted to play it. It will be AS IS from point of receipt.
I'll scan the amount charged to my card. I'll post it up here.
You keep paying till full payment and you come and collect the guitar.
If at any point right now you feel uncomfortable and distrustful, or if there are any chance that there will be intervention from parents, elders etc, I'm OUT. Don't expect any service from me but you can expect straightforwardness and professionalism.
This is just a one time offer. Anyone else who are thinking along the same line. NO. I won't do this again. Not for you. You. and you. And you. Yes and YOU.
