Selling your instrument/The many benefits of consignment

If you attempting to sell your guitar, amplifier, or other audio equipment, there is a good chance that you want to get the most money possible for it for the least hassle. Selling guitars can be difficult at times because they have to be in pristine condition and many people don’t understand them. This is where consigning comes into play!

In this blog post, we will talk about 6 reasons why you might want to consign your guitar rather than sell it yourself.

Net more Money, with Less Hassle:

Consigning your guitar will net you more money than if you sell it yourself. This is because of our proven track record of selling guitars and we know the best way to go about doing so. Southwest Acoustic Products sells Nationwide and has both the exposure and contacts to accomplish this task efficiently.

Sell faster:

Having an established partner who is experienced at selling a consigned product means that people looking for guitars will contact us, if local, will set an appointment, come to our studio and get an opportunity to “try and buy”, in the presence of a professional who can guide the prospective buyer through the process.

Avoid excessive shipping and shipping costs.

If you were to ship your guitar somewhere else (or even try and post an ad on Craiglist), it might cost you well over $100.00 just to ship. This does not even cover the hassle of packaging the product and paying for all the packaging materials required. For example a recent trip to our local UPS store, it was indicated that "just the box" to ship the guitar was $29.00. Southwest Acoustic Products has a proprietary method of shipping guitars that significantly reduces the chance of damage, while adding no weight to the overall package, hence reducing what would normally be a "difficult item" to ship.

Let professionals handle the sale:

Marketing and selling a musical instrument or audio equipment is a difficult process and one that can easily be a real task if you are not set up for it. When you consign your guitar with us, we take on all of the responsibility for assuring it sells quickly and for the best price possible.

Get more exposure:

Unlike if you try to sell your guitar online or through classified ads when you consign with us your guitar will be seen by many people who are looking specifically for guitars! This means that you have a much higher chance of getting the most money for it in a shorter amount of time.

Guitar repairs and preparation:

Many of you have lost your interest in playing for one reason or another. Hence your guitar may need some work or repairs to bring it into a "selling" condition. We have the expertise to fix imperfections in the sound of your instrument, change strings, intonation, fix and repair the electronics and set up the guitar so the new buyer will have a positive experience from the beginning. If any of these points resonated with you, then please feel free to contact us about our consignment services! We would love to help sell your guitar, either electric or acoustic guitar, mandolin, or other stringed instruments, amplifier, microphones, and other audio equipment in the easiest way possible.
