Hi Rudy4,

I'm just chiming in here, as I just recently ordered a guitar from ProAudioStar (about 2 weeks ago now). I figured I would give my impressions.

First, I did order from them a few years back. They had a nice pair of AKG headphones for a deep discount. I got the headphones pretty quick and they were brand new. I was happy.

This guitar order is the second time ordering from them. I too was a bit worried, because the guitar (Gretsch G2420T) was at a VERY low price, brand new. The guitar shipped the next day and I got it in two days total from shipped to my door. (I am only one state over though, so YMMV).

This is where the one thing I did not like about my transaction comes in. They didn't double box the guitar, so it only came in the Gretsch box and it was pretty ragged looking by the time it got to my door. That said, the guitar was perfectly fine in the box... but I credit that to Gretsch's packaging design more than anything ProAudioStar did.

Now, I don't know what that means for a used guitar... I'm not sure how they package their used equipment. They could be great at it... or not. Might be something you'll want to look into further.

Besides that, I'm loving my new guitar and I'm quite happy with the price I paid. So ProAudioStar is two for two on good orders from me overall.

Edit: Just to add, I was looking at that very same guitar (as you see from above, I went with a Gretsch instead). If you go find it on reverb (it is listed there as well), it is listed as "Mint". If you are worried, buy it through Reverb and you will get an extra layer of protections. That is what I was planning on doing if I bought the used Godin.
