How much detail do you go into, is there such a thing as too much?

    the more expensive or obscure the more detail may be better...certainly spec, etc   I would try not to waffle

    Actual details the more the merrier but no personal waffling about how you love the guitar etc.

    Declare any faults. Draw attention to dings, however minor. Fret condition is very subjective so take good photos. Basically do everything you can so the buyer can’t feel as if you were trying to hide something in the description which can lead to a partial refund or return.

    Don't forget to mention that it's destined to become a valuable and unique piece of rock memorabilia.
    It would also help to include a photo of some random rock god holding a similar guitar thus suggesting it belonged to him.

    If it has lots of super shiny chrome on it, then put some strides on before you take the pics.

    And don't forget to use 'my beloved' in the item description.

    If it’s a Squier Classic Vibe don’t forget to say ‘better than Fender Custom Shop and all my mates agree’.  ;)

    Start with a well-loved phrase such as “Here we have...” or “Up for grabs is...”.  Finish on a flourish with “Grab a bargain!”

    People love that.
