Sell your vintage Gibson with confidence
My name is John Shults; I'm happy you've landed on this page of my website.
After more than 10 years of buying vintage guitars, I am confident that the best deals are ones where both parties in the transaction operate from the same information. I want you to be fully informed about what it is that you're selling before we attempt to come to a price that works for both of us. Instruments often carry important legacies, and I want to do my best to honor those stories.
Please see below to read my 5 Star Reviews, or to contact me for a price.
How to sell your vintage Gibson to True Vintage Guitar
Let's begin by getting some basic pictures of your Gibson guitar. As a Gibson guitar expert, I can quickly identify your guitar to find the year it was made, exact model, assess its condition, and look for any repairs or modifications. Vintage Gibson guitar values are very year specific since Gibson updated its manufacturing process over time. I'll need a few basic pictures to start with before we discuss your guitar. You can send me information and pictures by clicking the "Contact John" button below.
The next step for how to sell a Gibson is a phone call to discuss proper guitar identification. I want you to know what a Gibson guitar collector sees when I evaluate the guitar. I may ask for additional pictures so that we know exactly what you are considering selling. At that point we might discuss your guitars value when we consider any repairs necessary.
Sometimes the most important step is the transaction itself. I travel worldwide to make selling a Gibson easy and risk free. If you have a vintage Gibson of high value that I'm looking for, then I may be able to come to you no matter where you live. Or if I can't make it out to you then I can arrange for pro packing, shipping, and insurance to get it to me safely.

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.
