Buying a guitar on eBay can be a daunting time for anyone, I wanted to share my bad experience that I have had buying a 12 string guitar the one in question was a yamaha dw7-12 ...it was delivered to me I by parcel force 48, after I unpacked it to give it a strum,I instantly noticed there was no string break angle and the top had a belly, also it was tuned to full 440 pitch for transit it was instantly returned for a refund, so here is some ....TIPS when buying any guitar on eBay....... First make sure you study all pictures , make sure you look at string break angle and that there is no signs of a belly in the top....ask questions and for more pictures... Ask has the bridge ever been modified planed or sanded ....ask how high is the action at the 12th fret... Ask about the condition of the frets.. And how long it has been owned for. .. With a twelve string.. Ask what was the guitar tuned to. i.e. 1/2 tone down one fret.. or full tone two frets. Twelve string guitars tuned at concert pitch is not a good sign,.... ask how the guitar has been kept when not in use. A guitar kept on a stand tuned up to concert pitching a home with Central heating going of and on all the time can easily cause DAMAGE as well as heavy strings .... Resulting in guitar that is useless to play, The yamaha DW-7 12 string has be re-listed on eBay even though I have sent them pictures of the DW7-12 showing the defects of this guitar, eBay are only interested in charging fees... So TAKE CARE WHEN BUYING A GUITAR ON eBay. .......hope this is useful. Cheers Edward. .. ... You tube Justin tips and tricks 12string guitar is worth a look at
