Your guitar is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. This is also dependent on how you’re trying to sell your guitar which can sometimes depend on how quickly you want to sell it. Are you trying to find a store that will sell your guitar for you? Are you trying to find a customer to directly sell your guitar to? Are you trying to sell your guitar to a collector or professional guitar player? The route in which you sell your guitar will play a huge role in this question.

We actually prefer to see instruments in person for evaluations, however, we know this isn’t always feasible for everyone. If you’d like to meet in person to get your guitar appraised, please contact us here! We are usually 30 days out for this.

We can do a virtual appraisal, but there are numerous steps involved in this process. This process can also be done over the phone with high-quality images of your instrument. Please contact us for more information on this process and get started.

Typically, guitars 30 years or older are classified as vintage although this is not always the case. There are instruments that are desirable regardless of how old they are, and there are also instruments that were mass-produced and will never have vintage value. If you’re unsure about whether your guitar is vintage, contact us and we can help you out!

Originality and condition matter a lot as they drastically affect the value of each instrument. Even if two guitars have the same make, model, year, and finish, the condition of each guitar can greatly alter the price. To determine the originality and condition of your guitar, contact us.

Many things affect the value of different guitars, but there are some guitars that are highly sought after around the world. Solid Body electric guitars by Gibson in the late 1950s are extremely valuable and rare. Many Gibsons from that time period actually go for over a million dollars! Fender instruments produced between 1950 and 1964 are also highly coveted. Limited edition colors are even more valuable. Dreadnoughts by Martin produced in 1933 or later are also very desirable for collectors.

When determining the value of your vintage guitar, we look at most recent examples of your piece and what it has recently sold for. Asking prices are not always relevant. Contact us for more information.

Yes, we would be happy to travel to check out your vintage guitar collection, estate, or inheritance! We will charge a traveling fee to cover the costs of driving or flying to your location. Contact us to inquire about traveling for appraisals.

Verbal appraisals are always free at Vintage Guitar Appraisers. If you’d like or need an official, written appraisal, it will cost $99 as this is a more tedious process. You may need a written appraisal for insurance reasons or a plethora of other reasons, but our verbal appraisals are done by the same experts and are just as accurate as written appraisals.
