From the reviews

I live in Ohio and saw that Joe's does free appraisals online. I sent him a few pictures of a guitar I have and he quickly responded with information and a rough estimate on a price. He actually gave me a call and gave me as much info about my guitar as he could.

★★★★★ — Rich, Feb 2023

I had 3 Vintage guitars that belonged to my Daddy. He was 96 when he passed away almost 3 years ago. I was ready to let them go as it was time. I found Joe here on Google. He was completely understanding & I sent him pictures. He offered me an excellent price, & helped me through the process of getting them to him.

★★★★★ — Bobbie, Jan 2025

I wish I could give Joe more than 5 stars. He appraised 2 guitars for me incredibly quickly at no cost. He purchased a third one from me at a price that I’m certain cannot be beat by other online buyers (I had an inbox of offers from other places where I entered information for appraisals).

★★★★★ — Jessica, Jan 2026

I am old and don't do these reviews really, but I felt my transaction with Joe's merited one.... I had an old Gibson bass purchased in the 1970's that fueled this young man's rock star dreams until I started a family in the 1990's. Since then, the old bass has been a bedroom dust collector.

Selling or trading gear at Joe's Vintage Guitars - We Buy Guitars!

Joe's Vintage Guitars - We Buy Guitars! 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.
