We value the guitar together with you. The Guitar Company receives a commission (percentage of the price). The Guitar Company has a broad network and works hard to profile our website by use of ads and strong marketing strategies.

Be assured, everything will be recorded by contract.
This is what we do for you
On arrival of the guitar we tune up the guitar, clean it and, if necessary, we replace the strings on the guitar. After a detailed inspection we take professional photographs of the guitar Professional presentation on our website. Potential buyers can look at the specifications, high resolution pictures and the story behind the guitar.
When the guitar is part of our collection it will be shared on our social media canals (Instagram, Facebook). We also place advertisements on different platforms and our subscribers will be notified by the newsletter.
