FAQ’s

Do you buy used instruments?

Guitar Hangar LOVES used gear! We buy, sell, trade, and consign instruments of all shapes and sizes. To make a fair assessment of the true value of your instrument, we must see it in person. You can email us photos of your instrument and we’ll provide an unofficial, ballpark price, but no final price will be agreed upon until we see the instrument in person.

Do you offer lessons?

Yes. Guitar Hangar has a full staff of professional instructors ready to help you take your playing to the next level. Check out our lesson page for more info and a breakdown of how it works.

Do you offer insurance appraisal services?

Yes we do. For a small fee, Guitar Hangar will provide a written appraisal of your instruments for use by insurance companies or processing estates. General appraisal services are $45 per instrument, but there are price breaks for large collections or lots. Contact us for more info.

How much is my guitar worth?

There are many factors to consider to properly assess the value of a rare, vintage instrument. How old is it, is it all original, total number produced, condition, what’s the market for these instruments now? The best way to start off is by sending us pictures documenting any damage or modifications, unique features, etc… In the email please state as much as you know about the instrument and a serial number. We will let you know what we can do for you. We do not estimate guitars value so you can sell them yourself – we offer appraisal services for that. We will let you know what we can offer you in cash, trade, or consignment value. Send any inquiries to sales@guitarhangar.com.

What are my payment options?

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, AMX, Mastercard, and Discover). We accept PayPal payments as well as bank transfers, money orders, and checks. All international orders must pay by bank transfer, no exceptions.

Do you charge sales tax?

We must collect 6.35% sales tax from you if you are picking up merchandise in the store or if we ship to a Connecticut residence. Sales tax is automatically added to the total for Connecticut residents who are logged in and shopping on the website. If we ship merchandise out of the state of Connecticut, we do not collect sales tax.
