The Best Way To Sell a Fender: To a passionate buyer

What's the best way to sell a Fender guitar? To a passionate buyer. Here's what I mean when I call myself a passionate buyer (John@truevintageguitar.com):

Experience: 15 years full time experience working with vintage Fenders. Sell to a buyer who works with vintage Fender guitars for a decade and a half.

Deep knowledge: My guitar shop has two walls of books on vintage guitars from Fender, Gibson, and more. It's best to sell to a buyer who is confident they know what they're looking at.

Fully funded: A million dollars of liquid cash ready when you're ready to sell. It took me 15 years of reinvesting all monies to have the capital necessary to buy high end collectible Fender guitars.

From Brian, after I purchased his 1961 Fender Stratocaster

John and his assistant Walter, were very professional and courteous, their shipping process for out of town buying was as good as if not better than that had we completed the transaction in the store. They offered a fare and reasonable price for the 1961 See-Thru Blonde Stratocaster we sold them. The sale took only 2 days to complete. Thanks John, wishing you the best!

From Tonya, after I purchased her 1960 Fender Telecaster

"Not knowing a great deal about the guitar I had. I contacted John through the internet. John called me within 10 minutes. He had me send him photos and information on the guitar. He told me exactly what I had, and what it would appraise for. He was a pleasure to talk to. John was very informative. After talking on the phone we corasponded through text & email. He followed through on everything he told me on the phone. We had the deal done for purchase within a few days. What a blessing this company is! I can't say enough. Also, Walter a big thank you for helping me through all the instructions."

From William, after I purchased his 1954 Stratocaster

My experience with John at True Vintage Guitars was such a relief. John patiently listened to me explaining the history of my 1954 Fender Strat and didn't treat me like I didn't know what I had. I sent pics and John arranged everything to have guitar shipped. I have been dreading this sale for years and John made it so easy.
