SELL YOUR VINTAGE GIBSON

Scruffs has purchased vintage Gibson guitars ranging from $1000 to $450,000. Over the years, we’ve handled everything from player-grade Les Pauls to museum-level custom color Bursts. If you’ve got something from the 1950s or 1960s, there’s a good chance we’re interested—and we know what we’re looking at.

Here’s how we figure out what your guitar might be worth:

1. Nail down the details

The year, model, finish, and original parts all matter. If you’re not sure, no problem—we’re Gibson experts and can help identify it quickly.

2. See what’s out there

We’ll look at what similar guitars are listed for on the current market. That gives us a rough idea of where yours might sit.

3. Look at what’s actually sold

Lots of guitars sit for sale forever. We focus on real sales, not just asking prices, so we can give you an honest number based on what buyers are actually paying.

Online platforms like Reverb can be great for buying and selling gear, but recently, many sellers have raised concerns about delayed payments on higher value items over $2,500. When you sell a valuable instrument, you deserve to be paid promptly and securely.

Another common issue on Reverb is pricing. Many listings reflect unrealistic asking prices that don’t align with actual market value. These instruments often sit unsold for months or even years, creating confusion for buyers and sellers alike.

At Scruffs Vintage Guitars, we take a different approach:

Fast, secure payment via wire transfer, cashier’s check, or cash

Accurate, real-world valuations based on actual sales—not inflated listings

Personal, direct service with no listing fees, platform delays, or guesswork

If you're looking for a straightforward and professional way to sell your vintage Gibson, we're here to help.
