Non-Returnable Items:

Please be aware that some items are non-returnable. Opened or used sets of strings, computer software, internal earphones, earplugs, traditional and ethnic wind instruments, raw-frame speakers, pickups that have been installed, drum heads and sticks, clothing, books and sheet music, cassettes, CDs, and videos are non-returnable except for defective items. Guitars which have been modified or played and possess pick scratch marks and any other markings of personal use cannot be accepted as a return. We ask that you view your instrument with extreme care until the decision is made to keep it.

Return items must be received within 30 days of receipt or they will not be accepted. If a return is received after the 30 day limit, it will be returned at the customer's expense. We ask that customers respect this return policy as most local music stores will not allow a cash refund, only in-store credit.
