From the reviews
I have walked into this store as a serious buyer with an idea of what I was looking for, and as a return customer just looking to buy strings/poke around. The folks here are very knowledgeable and have a stock of extremely high quality and well taken care of new/consignment instruments.
I've been playing my new (to me) guitar non-stop since I came back from picking her up at Austin Guitar House and wanted to take a break to write a review. The whole purchasing experience was quick, easy, and pleasant. I had initially found the listing online via Reverb and they responded immediately.
I will say- this is probably not your spot unless you are looking for very high-end gear. But- if that is what you are looking for, they have some great stuff you won't find anywhere else in town- and if you respect the gear and their time they are cool with you trying it out, which is priceless.
AGH is a special, happy place. A tone temple for riff-wranglers & lick-danglers. I wanna kiss the guitars & amps, but I don't.....I don't. Do you like Guitars? In Houses? Are you in Austin? Well, here you are.
Selling or trading gear at Austin Guitar House
Austin Guitar House comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
