The used guitar market crash has left many guitar enthusiasts wondering about its impact on their hobby and investments. In this video, we'll explore whether this crash is good or bad news for both buyers and sellers in the used guitar market.
For buyers, a crash in the used guitar market can present some exciting opportunities. Prices may become more affordable, allowing enthusiasts to expand their collections or upgrade their instruments without breaking the bank.

Never understood why people buy a used guitar and are so worried about the value and what they can sell it for. Every guitar I've bought was because I wanted it, and wanted to play it. Especially Gibson's. People tell you not to replace the pickups. I've modded and swapped pickups on every guitar I own, made it *mine*

Watching you guys, takes me back to my youth when I was the annoying kid who would hang around my local independent music store all day (with no money to buy anything) chatting with the guys who ran the store. I'm in the UK so the accents were different and it was the 1980s so the fashions were different (well.. not Baxters which is classic 80s lol) but they were great times and they made me fall even more in love with music and gear and realise that everyone who works in music, that isn't a massive bellend in the major league labels, does it for the love of music and the toys... I mean guitars... they get to play. Great video as always gents :)

@jameshumphrey2345 6 месяцев назад

A factor pushing the downward wave: if online reviews are to be believed, new budget and mid-price guitars are SO much more playable out of the box than they used to be. That in itself softens the market for the “broken-in” axes.

@Nblades78 6 месяцев назад

I think it was a condition of "Artificial Scarcity", a mistaken perception that all of a sudden there would somehow be no supply of new or used gear. Sure, factories had some issues with their labour-force downtime and navigating Covid, but did anyone really think it would be anything more than a short-term slowdown in production and distribution? It really was nothing more than that. Perpetual, never-ending growth to infinity is a fantasy, really.

@andrewbecker3700 6 месяцев назад

What is "IT"? Talk about "IT". If a cool new guitar costs the same as a used one, why would most people buy used?

@mileswatkinson8135 6 месяцев назад

@andrewbecker3700 "It" was a glut in the market of guitars caused by the buying frenzy of the covid lockdowns followed by oversupply when things went back to (somewhat) normal. First, you had a lot of people thinking they would learn to play during lockdowns, many of whom gave up shortly after. Then, you had a supply/demand imbalance as parts were difficult to source after the lockdowns, that sent prices skyrocketing and had consumers buying up things they hadn't been able to get for a while. Then you had an economic crisis that made a lot of players and collectors decide to sell off the binge purchases. It all adds up to a perfect storm of used guitars becoming harder to sell, a buyers market.

@ChuckNicholsonTRM 6 месяцев назад

@@Nblades78 mostly right, except in this case the scarcity was real, not artificial. Like most dealers during a significant part of the pandemic lockdown and for a while after, I had very little inventory to offer. Guitars would sell as soon as they came in. I sold a big collection of Norlin era Les Paul Customs within a couple of weeks and all for top dollar. It was crazy.

I've also seen far more people willing to offer solid trade value, just because us guitarist almost always have a little GAS for something different, combined with the used market coming back to reality.

I'm 6 minutes in into this video, and I wonder why the pandemic hasn't been mentioned once. People had to stay home, had no other places to spend their money, so started/extended their hobby and bought guitars -> huge demand, that couldn't be met because of Far East lockdowns. Then the pandemic ended, people had places to go again and alternative ways of spending their (saved) money. No more guitars. Meanwhile manufacturers had started up heir delayed supply lines. Partly boom and bust cycle, elementary economics, partly pandemic.

This was inevitable after the sales boon during covid. Alot of people bought to learn and found out it's incxredibly hard and lost interest. All these guitars are now hitting the market and at the same time manufacturers are clearing excess stock from the same period of time. The market will return to normal, but it's going to take a few years I think. Legacy brands like Fender, Gibson and PRS will bounce back the quickest I predict. Low end stuff may never get to where it was. But for people looking to upgrade or get that Strat or Les Paul they always wanted. You can find plenty of very good to mint choices at great prices atm.

@edtlonsway 6 месяцев назад

It all depends on what you are selling IMO. I have seen very solid prices on pieces that are not common. If you are trying to sell a guitar that is still being made new then I wouldn't expect much. If you are selling something you can't get often the market is still there.

Bought a few guitar but very selectively. Strictly a hobbyist playing at home for the fun it. Before starting out I read a post on a guitar forum that made sense to me. Guy said expensive guitars are fine but if you ever have to sell good luck with that because they can be slow to sell and you will not get back what you paid for it new since it's now used. So after learning about guitars I started buying mint condition used "beginner" guitars but only pre CITES and before makers started cutting corners. These are not as easy to come by now in mint condition or for the prices paid just a few years ago. I love cheap guitars that aren't cheap if you know what I mean. Hope everyone reading this has a happy, safe and prosperous New Year. Cheers!

Hi guys ........ ah lovely Southern Pines and that train. Love it! Visited in 2019 and bought some strings, lovely shop. Anyway, I think the whole industry is reeling due to low to mid priced guitar production. These guitars are not just being played by beginners or newbies. Word has got out, a simple re wire and some jiggery pokery with a few tools, and you have a very usable machine. I have four ( Thoman ) all fantastic, great for traveling on planes and general horsing around. My Suhrs, Prs’ and other random expensive stuff is rarely used. Sad but true. I am not alone - by the hundreds, everyone is doing the same, so it has to resonate through the entire industry. Expensive guitars are a hard sell now, worldwide. ........however I still use my Boogies, I ain’t going to cheap ampsville for no one! Most folk are the same. A 300 buck guitar plugged into a 3000 buck amp. Daft beyond belief! Sounds killer though. Oh and just to seal the deal with all the snobs out there.......I took the names off the headstocks and got my own decals made to stop pre conceived opinions-ruining my tone 😂 No one has a clue, and raves about the sound and then has a head melt when I tell them the name AFTER the gig. So that’s where its at, times have changed. There will always be boutique and high end guitars and lets face it some are gorgeous, pure works of art, but perhaps now they will exist in a smaller area of the market. Over and out, Happy NewYear 😊

You guys need to do an "Ugly guitars that no one wants - new or used" video. That's the only thing that NO ONE has done yet. I don't understand the prices of used guitars. But I'm thinking that those people selling them are trying to buy something new and want to offset the cost. Otherwise I bought a USED Squier last August. It's the only used guitar that I've bought in YEARS. I don't usually buy used guitars because you don't know who did what to it before you bought it without looking under the pickguard. Squier is one of those that no one cares about. So I bought a black one with a rosewood fretboard with a plain white pickguard. I put a new pickguard on it with all new electronics and pickups and locking machine heads. It rocks now! Otherwise I have just about all the guitars I can stand.

From the side of buying used guitars, I am seeing fantastic deals every day. Can’t buy them all, just like the shopping experience. I pay California prices for gas. We’ve always had the most expensive fuel. Loads of electrics on the road. Very few V8s. And … when I was a kid … a Martin D-28 at Westwood Music was $400.

Also, I bought 2 Martins and a PRS during Covid and they’re like going for about 1000 more now brand new. Not sure but I bet I could get good money for them. I won’t sell my Martin guitars though they are just the king of guitars!

Yeah the used guitar market is total trash right now and has been for months. The same 30 or so guitars keep getting listed and relisted over and over again on my marketplace because no one is buying them, and even though no one is buying them the sellers still aren't lowering the asking prices. Market is literally at a standstill.

I bought a Fender Musicmaster bass guitar about 25 years or so ago for $120. They can sell for ten times that now. But I like mine, hope I never have to replace it.

Agree... Just got a 2021 Squire Contemporary Telecaster RH for 260$ as good as new. Last month, Monorprice 15w amp for 140$. Deflation is coming hard; get your cash ready !!!!

I haven’t been able to figure out the prices that are being asked for used guitars lately. Models I bought and sold a few years ago are priced 2 and 3 times that now. I know about inflation, but there seems to be an oversupply of guitars in general. I’m expecting prices to drop in the coming months or years. But maybe not! 🤪🎸

The same sort of thing has happened in many markets… bicycles is another. You couldn’t lay your hands on one in 2020 and could ask whatever you wanted for the tatty one you had in your shed. The manufacturers responded like the boom was going to go on forever, with new prices surging and now the market has normalised (along with a rise in interest rates) so new bikes are unaffordable and the supply of second hand bikes is plentiful so it’s all a bit of a mess! History just repeats itself but the lure of getting rich quick catches people every time. Classic cars is another such market where people pay crazy money for any old wreck and then the bubble bursts.

I have always bought player grade guitars, mostly used. My Martins were both new, but neither of them are going anywhere any time soon...

What about price of guitar pedals people are selling them almost same price as new one

Placing Stuff OnLine does Not Equal Selling Them. Most sit, with Immobile and Stubborn Prices. They just Sit.

I used to work at GC and so many guitar came and went, and every guitar player I know owns multiple guitars...so it always made me wonder when they've made enough guitars

I've got a slew of guitars accumulated over the past 10-15 years. I was thinking of coming to Casino instead of the usual Reverb route. I thought maybe trading multiple less valued guitars/cash for a more expensive guitar, such as a CS Fender etc. Now I'm not so sure. I think just staying pat would be better than taking a complete bath.

Buddy of mine jumped on the PRS SE McCarty bandwagon immediately, spending $1k on one. A couple months later I picked up a "used" one, basically untouched, for $550. He was PISSED, and I giggled.

Anecdotal, but there's a particular anniversary edition guitar (mentioning that because it isn't being made anymore) and I currently have five of this same model guitar saved on Reverb and *none* of them have sold since 2020 because the owners won't budge on price. The market is clearly flooded with used gear. You can now find almost anything you want on the used market, so as long as the price is right it doesn't make sense to buy new guitars, pedals, or amps.

I'd consider Bloodsport and Dumb and Dumber to be two perfect movies. I can tune in and watch either of them from any point in the film. I never get bored of either. 🎉
