Boo! Don’t Let Used Instruments Scare You

October 26, 2022 by MGRSTL

When shopping for your next instrument, many options are available. One of these options is used gear, but don’t let that scare you away! You may want to buy brand-new but buying used provides you with a host of benefits that new doesn’t offer:

Environmentally Friendlybuying used instruments

You heard that right! Buying used instruments and gear is more environmentally friendly than buying new ones! How musical instruments are made has mostly stayed the same over the years, and many of their components aren’t disposable. Buying used helps ensure that these older instruments are still in circulation and we’re helping save essential resources like wood and metal.

Used Instruments Are Budget Friendly

We don’t keep it a secret that used instruments are budget friendly and more cost-effective than renting. You can get a great deal on even brand names with used instruments! If you choose to sell, you will get a return on your investment.

Used Instruments Retain Their Value

When you sell your used instruments, you can rest assured that they retain their value through the years. Of course, the make, model, and condition are considered before the sale to determine its fair market value.

Used Instruments Have Real-World Experience

Did you know that used instruments get better with age? This is known as “maturing,” and the instrument has proven functional. Dana Bourgeois of Bourgeois Guitars says, “The best vintage guitars have a quick response, dry sound, good fundamentals without too many overtones, even balance string to string and strong projection.”

I’m Looking for a Cheap Good Guitar…

We hear this a lot… Growing up this often was taught as a contradiction. Nothing good can be cheap… Nothing cheap can be good, right? Wrong. The problem is the word. And you see that word avoided out in marketing everywhere. Very few businesses will use the word ‘cheap’. Instead, they hang on ‘inexpensive’, ‘affordable’, […]

Big Box or Not – How About Something Unique…

We all know the behemoth in the guitar/musical instrument industry. It’s a long historied and storied institution. Though the stories, for quite a number of years, have been less than favorable. Let’s give the big boys some due. They were once a great franchise that started from the thriving needs of the LA and surrounding […]

The Quest for The Uncommon Guitar…

There’s Les Pauls. There’s Stratocasters. Telecasters… 335’s… SG’s… Etc. Then there are the OTHER things… Boutiques. One-offs. Rarities. Hand Mades. Hand Painteds. Conversation Pieces. Even rare versions of the afore-mentioned ‘standards’. We LOVE the rare stuff. The one offs. The boutiques. The limited releases. The smaller brands. The knock-offs… There are amazing axes all over.
