Sell Your Gear

Your Rig or Studio Could Be a Gold Mine Have you got a Used gem that you're thinking about selling? Well. It's time to brave the spiders in the attic, brush away the dust bunnies under your bed, and bring that Used piece into Guitar Center, where it's as good as gold. You can Trade In your gear for same-day payment or Trade-Up to that new piece you've had your eye on. Clean out your studio, garage or car! Load up your quality used brand name gear and bring it to our store. Save 10% off* any single item up to $500 discount when you apply your trade credit toward another new piece of gear the same day.

Don't waste your precious time posting your gear on an auction site or your local paper having strangers visiting your home. Bring your gear down to Guitar Center for payment on the spot. You may be surprised how much money or trade-in value you can get for that old, dusty guitar, amp, effect pedal or drum set.

Selling Tips: Call our Toll Free number (866) 498-7882 to see if your item qualifies and the location of the Guitar Center nearest you, or fill out the "sell your gear" request form and have your request routed to your nearest Guitar Center Store (based on zip code) and an associate will return your email or call you with details. Make sure your items are in clean, working condition and include all necessary parts before bringing them to your local store - sorry we don't purchase non-functioning products.

Once You Arrive at the Store - Here's How It Works: Check in with a sales associate to review what you have to sell. While you check out the latest deals & new arrivals your sales associate will review your items based on condition, brand and the store's current stock levels. Your sales associate will determine the value of your items and make you an offer or negotiate any trades. You walk out of the store with new gear, a check in your pocket or both - no waiting, no hassle, same day payment for your Used gear.
