Sell Your Guitar

Thinking of selling or upgrading your guitar? Acoustic Centre offers two ways to move on a quality instrument: trade it in against your next guitar, or consign it with us and let our team handle the sale. Fill in the form below with photos and details and we'll come back to you with the best option for your instrument.

Trade-in

Trade your current guitar towards a new or preowned instrument from our range. Bring it into our South Melbourne showroom for an assessment, or send photos and details through the form below for a preliminary estimate.

Consignment

For quality acoustic and electric guitars with a sale price of $2,500 or more, our consignment service puts your instrument in front of serious buyers. The fee is 25% of the sale price, inclusive of taxes, and covers setup, restringing and servicing, professional photography and listing copy, insured shipping, and all payment and finance fees. You're paid by bank transfer 7 days after the buyer safely receives the guitar. Read how consignment works.

Please note we don't buy guitars outright; we offer trade-in or consignment depending on the instrument.

What to include

  • Make, model and year (if known)
  • Photos of the front, back, sides, headstock and serial number
  • Close-ups of any wear, marks or repairs
  • Any modifications, service history and the case it comes with

The more detail you provide, the faster we can confirm next steps.
