Bring your instruments to your selected Guitar Center store. A team member can review your request and confirm the final value after inspecting your gear.
Guitar Center has decades of experience fairly evaluating used and vintage gear for purchase. When you bring your instrument in, an associate will evaluate the piece based on several factors, including condition, historical sales data, market desirability and current stock levels.
For vintage gear, we have a dedicated group of experts who are available during all Guitar Center open hours to assist in evaluations. We take pride in our acquisition process and are firmly committed to making fair market wholesale offers.
We buy used guitars, basses, drums, amps, keys and MIDI, folk and traditional instruments, recording gear, effect pedals, DJ gear, live sound equipment and more.
However, the following items do not qualify for trade-in:
Broken gear, keyboards running off of floppy disks, items missing proprietary power supplies, Acoustic pianos, instrument cables, power cords, custom-built cables or snakes, copyrighted material (software, books, videos and DVDs), computers and consumer electronics, snakes and switching systems, analog tape recorders, wireless units, guitar parts, strings, drum sticks and drum heads, upright acoustic basses, large recording and live sound mixers, studio furniture, lighting gear, drum hardware (low end), turntables (other than Technics), stand-alone digital hard disk recorders, DAT and CD recorders, and band and orchestra instruments.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.
