FAQ
Musical Instrument appraisal questions
How much is my guitar worth?
Brand, model, production year, originality, and condition set guitar value. Photograph the headstock, serial number, and full body front and back for the best estimate.
Does refinishing an instrument reduce its value?
Usually yes for collectible instruments — original finishes matter to collectors. Player-grade modifications are fine for playing but affect collector pricing.
Are old pianos valuable?
Most used uprights have modest resale value, but premium makers and well-maintained grands can be exceptions. Condition and maintenance history matter more than age.
