About Our Warranty on Used Items
Please see here for detailed warranty terms
Our acoustic guitars now come with a new “Peace of Mind Warranty.” For one month or six months after purchase, we will repair any defects arising from normal use free of charge.
Enriching Your Musical Life
Our relationship with you doesn’t end with the purchase of an instrument—it’s just the beginning. We also assist with promoting live shows, recruiting band members, and other announcements. Whether you’re thinking, “It’s starting to feel a bit hard to play,” or “The sound is a little different than I expected,” we’ll do our utmost to support you through any post-purchase challenges or unexpected issues. In addition to long-term tuning guarantees and maintenance, please feel free to consult us about any minor customizations or concerns you may have.
We’ll Take Responsibility
“I haven’t been using it much lately,” “I wonder how much this instrument would sell for,” “I’m a little short on funds to upgrade my instrument”—everyone has their own reasons and timing for parting with an instrument. Please consult with us based on your specific circumstances. We’ll service the instrument you’ve cherished to ensure it’s in the best possible condition before passing it on to its next owner.
We purchase not only current models and popular instruments but also vintage pieces and instruments from lesser-known manufacturers. Please feel free to contact us via LINE for a quick appraisal, or send us a message or give us a call.
We’re here to support you with all our might
"I’m looking for this, but you don’t have it, do you?" "Would a modification like this be too much of a challenge?"
Leave it to us. Feel free to consult us even if you’ve been told elsewhere that an item is unavailable or that we can’t handle it, or if you’ve been turned down. Each and every customer’s request is our driving force and energy. We reflect these in our product lineup and tuning services, evolving every day.

My reason for starting acoustic guitar was "19"
Back in my student days, I started with the hope of "singing and playing to be popular."
Now, I spend my days captivated by the charm of vintage and used guitars
