True Vintage Guitar Seller Reviews - A Trusted Five-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.
Don't sell your guitar until you know what you have
Some of the sellers I work with aren't sure how to properly date and evaluate their vintage guitar. I want you to be full informed about the market value of your cherished instrument before you decide on a price.

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.
