Trusted Buyer

We've been in the high-end guitar business for years. Fair deals, transparent process, no games.

What We're Looking For

We buy a wide range of instruments and gear, but we specialize in high-end, vintage, and shredder's pieces. Here's what typically interests us:

  • Electric guitars: Fender, Gibson, PRS, ESP, Jackson, Charvel
  • Acoustic guitars: Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Bourgeois, and other premium makers
  • Amplifiers: Vintage and boutique amps—Fender, Marshall, Vox, Two-Rock, Mesa Boogie, and more
  • Vintage & rare gear: If it's unique, collectible, or hard to find, we're interested

Not sure if we're interested? Submit your gear anyway—we'll let you know. Even if it's not a fit for purchase, we might suggest consignment as an alternative.

Sell vs. Consign: Which Is Right for You?

Both options have benefits—it depends on whether you prioritize speed or maximum return.

💵 Sell to Us (Outright Purchase)

  • Get paid immediately
  • No waiting for buyers
  • One simple transaction
  • Lower payout, but instant cash
  • Best for: Quick sales, lower-value gear, or when you need cash now

🎸 Consign With Us

  • Keep 80% of sale price
  • We handle all the work
  • Global buyer exposure
  • Wait for the right buyer
  • Best for: High-value gear, rare pieces, or maximizing your return

Condition Guidelines

Be honest about condition—it helps us make accurate offers and speeds up the process. Here's how we think about condition:

Mint / Near Mint

Like new or barely played. No visible wear, all original parts, includes case and documentation. These command top dollar.

Excellent

Light play wear but no major dings or finish issues. All original or tasteful upgrades. Plays and sounds great.

Very Good

Normal play wear—small dings, minor scratches, fret wear. Still plays well, looks good, and functions perfectly.

Good

Significant wear, possible refinishes or repairs, but plays well. These have character and still make great players.

Even if your gear has issues (cracks, refinishes, non-original parts), we're still interested—just let us know upfront. Honesty helps us give you the best possible offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I get an offer?

We aim to respond within 24-48 hours with a cash offer. If we need more details or photos, we'll reach out promptly.

Are your offers negotiable?

Our initial offers are based on fair market value, but we're open to conversation. If you have comparable sales data or feel the offer doesn't reflect the value, let's talk.

Do I need to ship it first before getting an offer?

No. We make offers based on your description and photos. Once you accept, then we arrange shipping or pickup. Final payment happens after we inspect and confirm condition.

What if the condition doesn't match your description?

If there are significant discrepancies when we receive the gear, we'll reach out to discuss. We may adjust the offer or, if necessary, return the gear to you. Honesty upfront prevents issues.

Do you buy gear that needs repairs?

Sometimes. If it's a desirable piece that needs work, we might still make an offer—just be upfront about any issues. We have in-house techs and can assess repair costs.

How do I ship my guitar safely?

We'll provide detailed packing instructions once you accept an offer. The key is a good hardshell case, proper padding, and a sturdy box. We recommend insuring high-value items during shipping.

Can I sell multiple items at once?

Absolutely. If you're selling a collection or multiple pieces, it'll probably be easier to just email us at orders@diabloguitars.com

What if I change my mind after accepting an offer?

Before you ship, you can back out—no problem. Once we've received and inspected the gear and sent payment, the sale is final. Communication is key if circumstances change.

Do you buy internationally?

We primarily purchase from within the United States due to shipping costs, customs, and tax complications. If you're outside the US, reach out and we'll see if we can make it work.

What payment methods do you offer?

We can pay via check, Zelle, or bank wire. You choose what's most convenient for you.

Is there any incentive to trade?

Yes! You can maximize the value of what you have now by putting it towards another piece of gear.
