I recommend this product
“Wow”
What can I add, “it’s a Gibson” this guitar is fantastic in playability and tight multiple tone control, however I being 64… the guitar makes me look like I’m having a mid life crisis. But it “Rocks”! Even better is Chicago Music Ex, I was looking everywhere for this Explorer. I stumbled on to their site and couldn’t believe there was a new one in stock. Still in disbelief, I went to the chat feature and inquired about availability…. Got my answer, a big “Yep”, I then replied I’ll take it, it was shipped that day and within a couple of days I had possession. I have always been skeptical of buying fine guitars online, but these guys did a fantastic job in packaging and shipping. Couldn’t be more pleased. Professional, courteous, and time conscious. THANKS TO YOU ALL. People have asked how did you get this so soon, I reply Chicago Music Exchange and a little good luck!

We're right off the CTA Brown Line 'Paulina' Stop Just North of Belmont and just West of Ashland.
We’re all musicians here at Chicago Music Exchange and we want you to love the gear you get from us. We understand that sometimes you get a piece of gear that doesn’t work out for you. That’s why we offer an easy return policy to take the stress out of purchasing from us.
If you decide you'd like to return an item, please contact your Sales Rep, chat us, or give us a call.
If you placed your order on Amazon or eBay, we advise issuing the return request from your account on the platform of purchase - our Customer Service team will process a refund upon receipt of the item(s).
Most new items may be returned within 30 days of delivery and most vintage & used items may be returned within 3 days of delivery for a full refund, exchange, or store credit. Please pack the product safely for the journey back to us. If the product was shipped for free, the charge will be deducted from refund, unless the reason for the return is outside normal circumstances.
Please contact us as soon as possible if your order was received incorrectly, damaged, or defective. Most times we will give you an RA number (Return Authorization). Why is that number important? This will allow us to speed up the process of the return.
We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee based on the return condition. Some items we just can’t take back for returns, due to a one time function like strings or drums heads and other times it’s not sanitary to do so with microphones or harmonicas. If you aren’t sure if what you bought falls into a category like this, call us (773) 525-7773!
We strive to get your return processed quickly. Most of the time we have it done within two business days. Funds going back to credit cards usually takes two to four business days.
