Selling your guitar to Dirk Witte means receiving a direct purchase offer based on condition, originality, age and market demand. Trading in is often more appealing: instead of cash, you can exchange your instrument for guitars or gear from our collection — frequently allowing you to move toward something of higher value than a straight sale would offer.

We are primarily interested in guitars from well-established, traditional brands such as Gibson, Fender, Gretsch and Martin, with a strong focus on vintage instruments and high-quality used gear. Affordable guitars from other brands can also be considered, provided they align with our assortment and quality standards. Condition, originality and overall character play an important role in our evaluation.

Both purchase and trade-in offers are below current market value. This reflects the work involved in inspecting, servicing and reselling instruments through our shop. Wear, modifications, repairs and technical issues will influence the final offer. Any indication based on photos or descriptions is always provisional — a definitive price can only be determined after we have inspected the instrument in person.

If you believe your guitar or gear might be a good fit for our shop, you can use the form below to share photos and relevant details. This allows us to make an initial assessment and determine whether the instrument fits our collection. Further down this page, you’ll find clear guidelines on how to take photos that help us properly evaluate your instrument. If there is potential interest, we’ll invite you to visit the shop to inspect the guitar in person and discuss the next steps together.
