Where to sell vintage guitars?

You've just found a passionate buyer who travels all over the world for the finest vintage guitars.

A good friend once said of vintage guitars, “Always buy what you love.” I love classic, American made guitars and amplifiers made up until 1978. I’m looking to buy guitars made by Fender Electric Instrument CompanyGibson, C. F. Martin and Co., and all other American made guitars.

I would love to talk to you about selling your vintage, American made guitar or amplifier. I promise to treat you with the utmost respect and be transparent throughout our dealing. I am happy to either purchase outright or consign your piece for you. I’m always out on the road buying so I may be able to come to you. If that isn’t possible then my insurance company can make shipping easy and stress free (no risk for you!). Together we can find the player or collector who will cherish your instrument as much as its original owner.

How to sell your guitar

Take some basic photos and click the "Sell My Guitar" button on this page. Let me know what kind of guitar you have and send me your pictures. You can sell your vintage guitar to me anywhere in the world and get a personal, local deal for fair money. I can help by either coming to you or arranging for professional packing, shipping, and insurance. I’m happy to help you with questions like “what is my vintage Gibson guitar worth?” or “how much is my vintage Fender guitar worth?”

How to sell a guitar near you

If you have a classic Fender, Gibson, or Martin guitar and you're looking for who buys vintage guitars near me, then here are the steps I recommend:

1. Take a few basic pictures: A couple quick pictures do wonders for selling a guitar near me. Take one of the full guitar in its case, one of the back of the guitar, one of the front of the body, then one of the front of the neck.

2. Fill out the form: Click here to attach pictures of your old guitar and include contact information. You can include your price there too if you have one in mind (but it's not required).

3. I'll check out your guitar: I'm looking for vintage collectible guitars primarily from Gibson, Fender, and Martin.

4. Receive an offer: I want to be your highest offer and best selling opportunity for the guitars I'm looking for. 

After you've received an offer to sell your vintage guitar, you can decide if it's the right selling opportunity for you. I'm happy to come to you if the price of the guitar makes sense to both of us. If travel isn't an option, I provide ultra fast (overnight) and super safe (no risk to you) shipping options which might also make sense to us. 

Please read my 5 Star Reviews below for more info about me.

I'm currently paying top dollar for

Les Paul Custom
1953 - 1968

Les Paul "Burst"
1958 - 1960

Les Paul Junior "TV"
1954 - 1957

Factory Custom 1950s Stratocaster

Fender Broadcaster

HOW OLD IS MY GUITAR?

I can help with that. Let's start by getting some pictures of your guitar. Serial numbers on Gibson and Fender guitars can be very misleading so I've got to see what your guitar looks like in order to inform a serial number or factory order number.

True Vintage Guitar Reviews - A Trusted 5 Star Dealer

From Robin, after I purchased her vintage Epiphone Texan

Wonderful experience selling my old guitar! John and Walter were wonderful. They took care of everything so all I had to do was drop it off at fed ex. This online transaction was so quick and easy from beginning to end and they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to.

From Shane, after I purchased his Gibson SG

The process seemed a little risky, but John is true to his word. He walked me through packaging and everything needed to ensure the instrument was safe to ship. I dropped the instrument off at FedEx late afternoon, he received it the next morning and he transferred funds within a few hours. Great experience and I’d recommend him to anyone. Thank you John!

From Brock, after I purchased his 1967 Stratocaster

John demonstrates outstanding professionalism in his expertise and business practices. I enjoyed doing business with him, and highly recommend True Vintage Guitar to any serious collector.

Vintage Guitar Appraisal Service

If you've inherited a vintage Fender, Gibson, or Epiphone guitar then you need a certified appraisal to find out how much your guitar is worth. The value of a vintage guitar depends heavily on first determining the exact make and model, identifying the year by serial number, identify color and features, and a careful inspection for originality.
