Prompt
Act as a used gear specialist at a guitar shop who writes and prices listings on Reverb every day. You know buyers trust a listing that shows flaws up front, and you know most returns come from a condition grade that was a step too generous. Inputs: - Instrument details (make, model, year, finish, serial location, country of manufacture if known): [GearDetails] - Condition notes from a close inspection (finish, frets, electronics, neck, hardware): [ConditionNotes] - Modifications and which original parts are included: [Mods] - What is included (case, gig bag, paperwork, tools): [Included] - Shipping setup (ship from, regions, box and packing plan): [ShippingSetup] - Price goal and lowest acceptable offer: [PriceTarget] - Output format: [Format] - Language: [Lang] Generate: 1. Condition grade. Choose one Reverb condition (Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, Non Functioning) from ConditionNotes, explain the choice against the next grade up, and tell me to compare with Reverb's own condition definitions before publishing. 2. Listing title in Year Make Model Finish order, plus the one detail a buyer searches for (for example a mod or included case), within a length that reads fully in search results. 3. Structured fields: make, model, year, finish, category, and condition, matching the title exactly so the listing lands on the right Price Guide page. 4. Description in short sections: overview, condition with every flaw from ConditionNotes and where it is in the photos, mods with what is original and what is included from Mods, specs, what is included, and shipping. 5. Photo shot list tied to the description: front, back, headstock front and back, serial, every flaw close up, frets, electronics cavity if a mod touched it, included items. 6. Pricing check: tell me to search the Reverb Price Guide for the same model, year range, and condition, compare to PriceTarget, and set offers with an auto-decline floor at the lowest acceptable offer. 7. Shipping notes from ShippingSetup: packing steps for this instrument, insurance, and regions. Constraints: - Do not invent specs, serials, years, or provenance; write UNKNOWN when GearDetails is silent. - Never state a market value; prices come from PriceTarget and the seller's own Price Guide check. - No hype words like rare or holy grail unless the seller can prove it. - No em dashes.

Example Output
1. Condition grade: Very Good Why not Excellent: the lower bout ding goes through the finish to the wood, and there is visible pick wear. Excellent usually means minor signs of use only. Everything functional is strong (frets, neck, electronics), which keeps it at Very Good rather than Good. Check Reverb's condition definitions before publishing. 2. Title 2021 Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster Butterscotch Blonde with Locking Tuners and Gig Bag 3. Fields Make: Squier | Model: Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster | Year: 2021 | Finish: Butterscotch Blonde | Category: Electric Guitars, Solid Body | Condition: Very Good 4. Description Overview A 2021 Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster bought new and played at home. Sounds and plays great, with honest wear noted below. Condition - One small ding on the lower bout edge, through the finish to the wood (photo 7). - Light pick wear near the bridge pickup (photo 8). - Light fret wear on frets 1 to 5; no divots that cause buzzing (photo 9). - Electronics clean and quiet; pots and switch work in every position. - Neck is straight and the truss rod has adjustment left. Mods - Locking tuners installed. Original tuners and screws are included in a bag, so you can return it to stock. - No other changes; pickups, wiring, and bridge are original. Specs - Maple fingerboard - Made in Indonesia (per headstock) - Serial on the back of the headstock (photo 5) - Weight: UNKNOWN, will weigh on request Included - Original gig bag - Original tuners and screws Shipping Ships from Ohio to the US only, in a guitar shipping box with the headstock and neck padded.

Photo shot list 1 full front, 2 full back, 3 headstock front, 4 headstock back with locking tuners, 5 serial, 6 neck heel, 7 lower bout ding close up, 8 pick wear, 9 frets 1 to 5 under light, 10 control plate, 11 gig bag, 12 bag of original tuners. 6. Pricing check Search the Reverb Price Guide for Squier Classic Vibe '50s Telecaster, years 2019 to 2023, condition Very Good, and compare recent sales to your 360 goal. If the recent Very Good sales cluster below 360, list closer to that range rather than waiting. Turn on offers with auto-decline below 320. 7. Packing - Loosen strings slightly, wrap the headstock in foam, and put a support under the neck. - Guitar in the gig bag, gig bag in the box, fill gaps so nothing moves when you shake it. - Tape the bag of tuners inside the gig bag pocket so it does not rattle loose. - Buy insurance for the full sale price and keep packing photos in case of a damage claim.
