Product Description + Pricing

We take every care in the preparation of the content of this web site, in particular to ensure that prices quoted are correct at time of publishing and all products have been fairly described. However, please note the following:

• YOUR GUITAR IS LIKELY TO HAVE PARTS AND/OR AN APPEARANCE THAT VARIES FROM THE GUITAR PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE SITE. All our guitars are hand-built and each guitar is unique. Wood, for example, is an inherently varying material and unless we have the guitar photographed in stock, your own guitar will be different.
• Colour and appearance on the web site will vary according to the resolution and the screen type of your computer. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the appearance or colours of the products shown on the site exactly reproduce the appearance or colours of the products themselves.
• The weights, dimensions and capacities given are approximate only.
• The price you pay is the price displayed on our web site at the time we receive your order, and will be clearly stated on your order confirmation, with the following exception: if we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price, or canceling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled, and will give you a full refund.
• On rare occasions, product descriptions may not reflect the exact position at the moment. We do not therefore offer any warranties as to their accuracy.
• Packaging may vary from that shown.

Payment

STOCK ITEMS and HAND-BUILT CONCERT RANGE GUITARS: we will charge your credit card account when your order is on its way to you.

CUSTOM-BUILT GUITARS: we will ask you for your payment details and a deposit when you place your order. The balance is payable when your order is dispatched to you.

Your card statement will refer to "PLUS Online Stores Ltd " as the business which you have paid. Online orders must be paid for by credit/debit card. We accept Visa Credit, Master Card, Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Switch/UK Maestro, Solo, Maestro, JCB and American Express cards.

By providing us with credit or debit card details to pay for an order, you are confirming that the card you are using is yours. All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.

All goods will remain the property of Classical Guitars PLUS, a department of PLUS Online Stores Ltd, until paid for in full.

Accepting Your Order

We carry out checks and authorisation procedures on cards, cheques, stock, etc before your offer to buy from us is accepted. We reserve the right to reject any order placed with us, depending on the results of the checks and procedures that we carry out.

Our acceptance of your order will take place upon dispatch of the product(s) ordered.We will either phone or send order confirmation to your e-mail address. A receipt will be sent by post or e-mail. Goods may be dispatched separately to invoice. Please keep all paper work that we send you in case of query and if possible print out copies of emails or on line orders placed.

Delivery

Delivery by insured courier will be charged at cost on all orders delivered to a UK or European address. We only deliver when goods are signed for. This is for everyone's benefit as it helps to avoid theft and fraud. If no one is in, a card will be put through the door giving instructions.

STOCK ITEMS: Almost all UK orders from stock are delivered next day to UK mainland. Goods are dispatched once payment has been cleared (this is normally instantaneous with credit cards and can take up to a week in the case of cheques). If ordering out of office hours (mon-fri 9am - 5pm), please take the next office day as the start time for our services. Please let us know immediately if you do not receive your order by the date we have said you should.

NON STOCK ITEMS: Guitars built to order are subject to waiting times which vary from days to months depending on a range of factors beyond our control. However, we believe that our lead times are as quick as can be expected for hand-built guitars that require careful seasoning and drying of woods and finishes. We will keep you informed at every stage of the process.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS are subject to individual carriage quotes and delivery time estimates. Delivery estimates are only estimates and may vary.

Order Cancellation + Returns
