More About JoePut My Experience to Work for You
Your Guitar Deserves the Right Buyer
A good consignment listing starts with knowing exactly what the guitar is. I’ve spent more than a decade buying, assessing and selling vintage instruments.
Careful Authentication
I look at originality, condition, repairs and the details collectors ask about, then describe the instrument accurately.
Photography That Shows the Details
Clear photographs show buyers what they’re considering. For top-tier instruments, a demo video lets them hear it too.
Collectors Beyond Your Local Market
Your guitar reaches my buyer network and online audience, including collectors around the world.
The Sale Is Handled for You
I manage the listing, questions, negotiation, packing, shipping and insurance. You keep ownership until it sells.

How Long Will It Take to Sell My Guitar?

Can I Consign a Collection or Bring My Guitar in Person?

Should I Clean or Repair My Guitar First?
Please send photos before cleaning, polishing, replacing parts or arranging repairs. Original finish, hardware, paperwork and the case can all affect a vintage guitar’s value. Include any original parts and history you have.
