Guitar shipped without protection

Do not buy a used guitar from them !
They double boxed it which is great but ... there was nothing to avoid the inner box to move. Worst part is there were only 3 small things inside the box. So the guitar, which was not even with bubble wrap, was moving freely inside the box.
I never saw that. How can you ship a guitar like that ?

Jackson is the most awesomest dude

Jackson is the most awesomest dude, and can make you play better just by glancing at your guitar. He’s a bloody sensei at music, and the smiling’est guitarist in Australia. We all should be more like Jackson, go see him for all things music, or just for the elite level hang.

Wonderful customer focus business

This is the 3rd time i have purchased a guitar from this business. The most recent was for a used one. I keep coming back to them even if they are across the other side of the continent. The reason why is their website with actual photos of the stock you are purchasing and the quality of their customer service. Highly recommend this business if your in the market for a guitar or more.

Fender purchase from The Rock Inn…

I purchased a used Fender that The Rock Inn shipped from Australia to the Philippines. When it arrived I opened the case and found it was in brand new condition. It arrived in perfect condition. I'm very happy with how easy it was to purchase and receive my guitar from The Rock Inn.

Great Service

My payment was flagged as potentially fraudulent, but the team down there made sure to get into contact immediately, made it easy for me to prove my identity, and got my package on the way as soon as possible.

Customer Focused!

Prompt response to inquiry, quick fulfillment, shipping cost were very fair considering the speed with which it was delivered halfway around the Earth! Many thanks - my purchase arrived safely 😉 👍

All good though

The delivery was fine, but the guitar was unplayable. The strings were turned down loose. The brass saddle was laying in the case. I tried to place the saddle and string it up. It has a bad buzz. I will take it to my music shop tomarrow. Will get it checked out. Did not see any visible damage and was going to get a set up done on it anyway. Well had the guitar checked out at Blue Angel Music. The luthier assested the condition of the guitar. the nut was not original and the wrong size, The bridge had been reglued and not done well and the saddle was too low. The truss rod adjustment would not turn and it has some fret issues and also had a slight bow in the top. He said it was not worth spending the money on. trying to repair. Not very happy about this. It would seem someone should have seen some of these issues and not listed this in good condition. Not a good deal for $700.00.

Reply from The Rock Inn

Hey Paul,

Thanks for leaving the review and I'm sorry to hear of your disappointment with this particular guitar. We tune down the strings on guitars for delivery as it helps relieve tension on the neck and reduces the likelihood of damage in transit. Sometimes when a guitar travels a long way, like this one has to you in the USA, it can be in need of a small tweak to the truss rod to get it back playing optimally as it travels by air in lots of varying climates. As for the saddle coming loose, I'm sorry about that, it should just pop back into the slot on the bridge there nice and easy. I'd be more than happy to talk you through any adjustments required to get your guitar playing perfectly for you - just give me an email or a call at the shop and I'll happily assist.

Kind regards,
Curtis
