From the reviews
Thanks to Jason and the guitar tech who did an excellent job of setting up, refurbishing and cleaning the 1970’s Penco guitar I purchased. It was a smooth and satisfying transition.
A few months ago I was looking for a local vendor/store that would sale/consign some guitars for me as I needed to lighten the load of my current collection. I came across The Local Pickup online and Jason and his team were great to work with during the whole process.
Jason of Local Pickup was GREAT to work with in making our purchase of a vintage guitar from him ! He was informative ...pleasant ... courteous and very prompt in shipping our purchased guitar. And he packed the guitar so carefully ! It arrived in GREAT condition safely ! And arrived only days from our purchase!
I brought several guitars to Jason last month to sell on consignment. The process has been easy from start to finish. He priced the guitars appropriately and makes sure you are in agreement before he will begin to sell them.
Selling or trading gear at The Local Pickup
The Local Pickup 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.
Lessons at The Local Pickup
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The Local Pickup. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
