The single available review highlights issues with item condition and return handling rather than pricing or website experience. The buyer reported receiving a used guitar and needed to request a return; the seller responded but did not provide a prepaid return label. Consumers considering The Fret Wire should confirm listing photos and item condition, ask about prepaid return labels, and document delivery condition with photos.

This store took advantage of my situation.
To complete an eBay transaction for a guitar, I was asked to ship it to their address, despite the fact that they had previously said that they would not charge any shipping fees to me.
When I received the guitar, it was clearly in horrible condition, having clearly been used.
By email, I informed them of the problem and requested that they return the guitar without charging me for shipping. They complied with my request.
However, they did not supply me with a return postage label and instead told me that I could return it through UPS for a replacement.
