Trade Up. Play Better.

Turn the guitar you have into the guitar you play.

We all have that one case gathering dust in the closet. Maybe your style changed, maybe the neck profile never quite clicked, or maybe you’re just ready for something new.

Instead of dealing with flaky buyers, lowball offers, and the nightmare of shipping to strangers on the internet, trade it in with us.

We are always hunting for high-quality used gear to add to our collection. If you have something cool, we want to give you fair market value for it—and put that credit directly toward the Whitfill, Gibson, Fender, Taylor, or whatever you’ve been eyeing.

How It Works (The "Face-to-Face" Swap)

We don’t do impersonal forms or automated quotes. We want to see the gear, talk tone, and make you a deal man-to-man.

  1. Let’s Talk: Call us at (888) 794-8482fill out the form below, or chat with us to schedule a quick Virtual Bench Check (via Google Meet or FaceTime).
  2. The Live Look: Show us the guitar on camera. Walk us through the condition, show us the frets, and tell us the story behind it. We’ll give you a solid trade number right then and there.
  3. Swap It Out: If the numbers work for you, ship us your gear. Once it lands and passes the final hands-on check, we apply the credit immediately to your new order.

Local to Evansville, IN? Just walk it into the shop. We’ll brew some coffee and look at it right then and there.

What We’re Looking For

We are a boutique shop, which means we look for “player grade” and “collector grade” instruments. We generally accept:

  • Electric Guitars: Fender (USA/Custom), Gibson (USA/Custom), PRS (Core/S2/Bolt-On), Whitfill, Suhr, Ibanez (Prestige/J.Custom), and other reputable boutique builds.
  • Bass Guitars: Fender (USA/Custom), Music Man, Spector, Warwick, Sandberg, and other pro-level low-end machines.
  • Acoustic Guitars: Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Guild, and high-end boutique makers.
  • Amps & Pedals: Tube amps and boutique effects are handled on a case-by-case basis.

What we usually pass on: Budget “starter packs,” part-casters (unless the parts are exceptional), and gear with significant structural damage (like broken truss rods or headstock breaks).

Why Trade With Moore?

Sure, you could try to sell it yourself on a marketplace. But here is why trading with us is the smarter play:

  • Save on Sales Tax: In many states, you only pay sales tax on the difference between your trade and the new gear. That can save you hundreds of dollars instantly.

  • Zero Fees: No listing fees, no final value fees, no payment processing fees.

  • Safety First: No meeting strangers in parking lots. You’re dealing with a brick-and-mortar shop that has been taking care of musicians for decades.

  • Immediate Gratification: You don’t have to wait for your old guitar to sell before you secure the new one.

The "Real Talk" Inspection

Because we do a live video assessment, there are fewer surprises. However, the final value is always subject to an in-hand inspection once it arrives at our shop.

  • Condition is King: We’ll ask you to shine a light on any dings or scratches during the video call. The more honest you are upfront, the smoother the process goes.
  • Modifications: Tell us about pickup swaps or changed tuners. Sometimes they add value, sometimes they hurt it—just let us know.
