Sell Your Guitar in Glens Falls, NY

We buy used guitars and basses. Two ways to get a number: bring it in and we look at it together, or send photos from home and hear back by text or email. Either way the offer is based on condition, playability, and what the market is doing. Cash offers run about 50 percent of real market value, based on what instruments actually sell for on Reverb, and offers hold for 7 days. Trading toward something in the shop? You get more in trade than in cash, worked out case by case. Full terms in the Sell & Trade Policy. Need a written appraisal for insurance instead? See vintage guitar appraisals. Players come in from Queensbury, Lake George, Saratoga Springs, and across Warren and Washington counties and the Capital Region.

Get a Number Before You Drive In

Fill in the basics, add a few phone photos, and Paul will look at it and get back to you with a number, usually within two business days. It holds for 7 days, and you don't have to sell to get it. Trading toward something in the shop? Same form, say so, and you'll get the trade number too.

Rather skip the form? Text three photos and the model to (518) 217-8695 and you'll get the same number the same way.

Or Bring It In

Stop in during shop hours, no appointment needed. We look at it together and you get an offer on the spot. You can think it over: the offer holds for 7 days.

Tuned, complete, and cleaned up if you can. We're evaluating playability and condition, not presentation, but a guitar that's ready to play is easier to assess and the offer reflects that.

What We Buy

Guitars and basses in playable or repairable condition. Fender, Martin, Gibson, Epiphone, and most major brands. If it's playable or repairable and there's a market for it, we'll make an offer.

What We Don't Buy

Instruments with major structural damage or missing parts that make evaluation impossible, unless it's a desirable vintage piece where the market justifies it.

What Affects the Offer

• Condition and playability. A guitar that plays well gets a stronger offer.
• Brand and model. Fender, Gibson, Martin move faster than off-brand instruments.
• Current inventory. If we already have three of the same guitar, the offer reflects that.
• Market demand. What players in this region are actually looking for.

Why Selling Local Makes Sense

You play it here, we make an offer here, and you leave with a check or store credit the same day, or come back the next day for cash. No shipping, no platform fees, no waiting on a buyer who ghosts you, no strangers showing up at your house. Rather sell it yourself? You can definitely make more that way, and we'll give you a free consultation on how to sell it. Start with how to sell your guitar for the most money.

If you'd rather put the value toward something in the shop, trading pays more, worked out case by case, and store credit can be issued as a gift card the same day. If you're looking at what's currently available, check the used guitar inventory.
