Sell Your Vintage Guitar

I love vintage guitars and I don’t care who knows it! I am always on the lookout for high quality vintage instruments and collections. I’ve worked hard over the years to put money aside specifically for this business and for buying guitars. I can make offers on huge collections, or single guitars. I will make you the best cash offer for your vintage Guitars, Basses, Amplifiers, Mandolins, Banjos, etc. If you have a vintage instrument you’d like to sell, please call or text me at (602) 900 6635 or email me at joesvintageguitars94@gmail.com.

I am constantly travelling as part of my business and I buy guitars all over the U.S. I can likely arrange to see your instrument(s) in person. If meeting to pick up the instrument(s) is not possible, I can arrange and pay for a professional prepaid packing and shipping service. I want to make the selling process as stress-free and as easy as possible for you!

More Than Just A Guitar

I truly have a passion for these wonderful instruments, and I keep them to play them, or make sure they get into the hands of folks who will care for them. The stories that come with these guitars are incredibly valuable to me. Often, what I treasure most when buying a guitar, is a photograph of the original owner, or stories about his/her life, which I type up, print out, neatly fold and place into the guitar’s case. I want these incredible musicians from another era to live on through their instruments. Such is the case with Walter M, a cowboy from Belen, NM whose son sold me a wonderful Gibson J-45. Below are photos of a 19 year old Walter with his pride and joy while recording at a local radio station in 1945.

Your Testimonials!

Joe came to my home and helped me with an appraisal. Instead of just giving me a number, he helped me understand why my guitar had the value that it had. Super helpful. Thanks!

Joe was very kind to me and made sure I understood everything about my brother’s guitar collection. He paid me more than 4 other guitar shops offered. He surprised us by singing one of my brother’s favorite old songs while playing his old guitar.

Friendly, responded quickly, prices seem to be best around. Best of all a set up means you get a setup, not just a big box guitar retail shop raising your action and saying the buzz is gone. Solved an immediate problem I had with a LP kit build where one PUP and the middle did not work. Solved on spot in 15 mins. Completed set up in two days. Now I have the weekend to play with my new creation. Will definitely be back again!!”
