SELL, CONSIGN, OR TRADE

At Colfax Guitar Shop, we're passionate about fine instruments — and we're always looking for exceptional pieces to add to our collection. From rare vintage collectibles to modern electrics, acoustics, basses, mandolins, banjos, and ukuleles, our experienced team makes competitive offers backed by decades of expertise.

Whether you've inherited a vintage Gibson, Fender, Martin, Gretsch, or Guild — or you're ready to part with a full collection — we're here to help you get a fair deal without the hassle

1

Submit Your Gear

Call us or fill out the form below with details about the instrument you'd like to sell, consign, or trade.

We pay cash, check, Zelle, or Venmo — or apply any amount toward a trade. Your call.

How It Works

Selling vs. Consigning — Which Is Right for You?

Sell Outright
We'll research and evaluate your instrument and make you a fair offer based on current market value. No listing fees, and no back-and-forth with strangers on the internet.

Consign

If you'd rather maximize your return and aren't in a rush. We'll authenticate, professionally prepare, and market your instrument to the right buyers. Our consignment commission is 20% — one of the more competitive rates you'll find — and it includes the backing of a world-class repair shop to make sure your guitar is in the best possible condition before it sells.

Why Sell to a Shop Instead of Reverb or Craigslist?

No photography hassle, no shipping logistics, no lowball offers from tire-kickers, and no risk of getting stiffed. You deal directly with experienced luthiers who know exactly what your instrument is worth — and you walk out the door with more money in your pocket.
