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.”

Fender Custom Shop

Top Shelf

At our ‘old’ store we had the Red Wall. It was where the cool high-end guitars and basses liked to hang out. It was a glorious attraction. Beautiful select gear framed in crimson for all to see and touch. At our ‘new’ shop we have lots more room. We have lots more inventory. So, we […]

Solid State Guitar Amplifiers

So I’m gonna confess something first and foremost: I’m a tube snob. I love the glass. I love the dynamic push and pull you get from having valves in an amplifier. Valves/tubes/glass – bottles of tone… BUT – let’s talk briefly about Solid State Amplifiers… They have their place. And in many cases – they […]

Ace.

Ace. Yeah, normally we talk about gear. And there will be hints of that here because we, nor he, could do what we/he do/did without the stuff. But. Let’s talk Ace. The Les Paul and Marshall pounding dynamo who has left for space. His home. Jendell in the Klaatu solar system. He wasn’t the most […]
