About Us

Hey, we're Southside Guitars.

Southside Guitars is an independently owned and run music shop in Salisbury, Brisbane. Started it in 2013 as Southside Secondhand in Moorooka, and we've been on Chrome St since 2019. We buy, sell and trade new and used gear, and our techs service and restore more than 500 instruments a year in our workshop over the road.

Our walls are packed with a constantly rotating haul of second-hand, vintage, and flat-out weird guitars, amps, and pedals. From road-ready workhorses to rare Japanese imports and oddball curiosities, if it makes a noise and has character, we probably want it in the shop.

What We’re About:

  • Buy, Swap, & Sell: Got gear gathering dust? We’re always looking for quality trades. We keep things fair, transparent, and hassle-free.
  • The Workshop: Our in-house techs are some of the best in the business. Whether it’s a standard setup to get your action right or a complex electronic overhaul, we treat every instrument like it’s our own.
  • No Ego, Just Gear: Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just picking up your first six-string, we’re here to help you find the right tool for the job.

Come hang out. Grab a coffee nearby, head into the showroom, and get lost in the racks. Your next favorite guitar is probably sitting here waiting for you.
