Frequently Asked Questions

More Questions?

Can I sell my guitar without leaving home?

Absolutely. For high-value or rare instruments, we come to you anywhere in Ohio. For other guitars, you can submit photos online and receive a cash offer within hours.

Do you buy guitars in Ohio?

Yes — we buy guitars throughout Ohio including Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, Toledo, Youngstown, Canton, and all surrounding areas. For valuable instruments we also travel to Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and West Virginia.

What documentation do I need to sell my guitar?

No special documentation is required for most sales. For very valuable vintage instruments, any provenance or ownership history is helpful but not necessary. We handle all the paperwork to make selling easy.

Do you purchase other musical instruments?

While we specialize in guitars and amplifiers, we occasionally purchase other stringed instruments and related gear. Contact us with details of what you're selling.

How does your online appraisal process work?

Our online appraisal process is simple: submit clear photos of your instrument (front, back, headstock, serial number, and any damage), along with details about its history and condition. Our experts will evaluate the information and provide a fair market offer within 24-48 hours.

Do I need to clean or repair my guitar before selling it?

No, please don't make any repairs or even clean vintage instruments before contacting us. Original condition—even with dust, grime, or minor issues—is often preferable for accurate valuation. Improper cleaning can actually damage valuable finishes on vintage instruments.
