Just having a random Google tonight, I stumbled on a pretty rare (and pricey) guitar I've been after for a quite a while.
Trouble is, it's on Reverb... and I've never bought from there before. The seller is in the USA, has minimal feedback, only this one item for sale and the guitar has been listed for several months. That said, looking at his previous sales the pictures were all taken in the same location so it seems legit, as far as I can tell.
I've bought loads from eBay, from all over the world, over the years and I don't suppose Reverb is really much different, but it feels uncomfortable because it's unknown territory.
Anyone bought from the USA via Reverb before? How good is the buyer protection? I need reassurance....

Without knowing the specs of the guitar, possibly worth waving the CITES flag - Mark from Guitars4You, and others, would be able to advise in detail.

Thanks for the advice and comments gents. CITEs shouldn't be an issue as there's no rosewood involved.
@iain.reverb I will send you a PM, although there's no particular problem. Thanks!
