Guitar Buying & Trade-ins

Tired of "Is this still available?" messages at 2am?
We’ve been there. Selling your gear online can feel like a full-time job - between the lowball offers, no-shows, and the emotional rollercoaster that is Gumtree or Marketplace, it’s enough to make you want to keep your guitar in the corner collecting dust until the heat death of the universe.

But there’s a better way.

At Southside Guitars, we buy guitars - and we mean that. Guitars are our first love, but we also take in a wide range of instruments: keyboards, synths, stringed things of all sorts, percussion, woodwind, and more. Got a stash of effects pedals that are woefully neglected? We buy those too, and sell them onto a new home. Whether it’s vintage, boutique, weird, or just plain loud, we’re always interested in checking it out.

You’re welcome to contact us to arrange a time to bring your gear in. We'll appraise it honestly, have a chat about it, and give you a fair offer. Feel free to contact us via web if phone calls aren't your jam, and if they are, give us a ring on (07) 3392 6888.

Looking to move something on but not in a rush? We also sell on consignment - so your gear can find a new home while you sit back and relax.

And if you’ve got your eye on something in our store but your wallet’s saying “maybe not,” we’re all about trade-ins. Bring in what you’ve got, and we’ll help you trade up to something that hits the right note and doesn’t break the bank.

We’re here for the players, the collectors, the curious, and everyone in between. Come by, say hi, and let’s talk gear.
