Photo & trust checklist

1. Add 8+ photos — front, back, headstock, body, and case.\n2. Photo #1 must be the hero shot on a clean background — it's what search shows.\n3. Show the serial number and any wear/flaws close-up — it builds trust and prevents returns.\n4. Add a full-body shot plus neck/fretboard detail for guitars; knobs/pedal tops for effects.\n5. Include a 'with case/gig bag' photo — buyers expect it.\n6. Re-audit after uploading — the Photos pillar updates instantly.

Price suggestion

Price $45 — check the Reverb Price Guide for this model. Rationale: Research plan: compare against Price Guide / sold listings; adjust within 15% of the median.
