Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 98 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Many customers praise the staff for their friendly, knowledgeable, and professional service, making interactions pleasant and efficient. The products, often guitars, are consistently described as being in excellent condition and accurately depicted online, exceeding expectations upon arrival. People also appreciate the competitive and fair pricing offered for both buying and selling, along with the hassle-free process and excellent packaging for safe delivery. However, some reviewers mentioned minor issues, such as guitars they were interested in having sold quickly or not receiving a direct valuation for their instrument, instead being offered a commission sale. A few others also felt the trade-in offer was slightly less than what they might get selling privately, though they valued the convenience.

I've used SUYG before, buying a Gibson ES335 last year. Today's experience was very similar to last year - relaxed space and attitude to look at the stock, not a new guitar in sight (yippee), a comfy... See more

I cannot speak highly enough of SUYG

I cannot speak highly enough of SUYG. Their process is simple and reliable (they even paid out on a guitar that Parcelforce lost), their prices are fair, their service is excellent and their staff are responsive, friendly and helpful. Recommended without reservation.

Epiphone Les Paul 300 (MIK 1999)

I'm delighted with the service from sellusyourguitar.
Given the price point of my purchase, I was really not expecting a 26 year old budget Les Paul play and function so well. The set up by their luthier is fantastic. Intonated perfectly after a tune up. No buzz and no crackly electrics. saved me ££'s on a set up.

Thanks you absolute beauties!

Another very satisfied customer.

My son wanted a 7 string for his birthday and we went to Sellyourguitar. The staff were friendly and helpful, setting up an amp and allowing us to try basic to fairly expensive used guitars - some with wear, others immaculate. In the end we found the best combination of playability, sound, appearance and price. With only a gentle bit of haggling we were given a useful discount. The best thing about today was the low pressure sales where we were left to explore different guitars at our own rate. Highly recommended.

Absolutely great

Absolutely great. They explained everything to me super clear. Top bunch of guys. My bass sold super quick and got so much more money for it than everywhere. Highly recommend. Also their shop is amazing. Would 100% return if in the market for some new kit. Can't recommend them enough. Proper above and beyond service. Cheers lads.

Ibanez Jem 505

Just a quick review to say thanks for the whole process of buying this Jem. I've been looking for a black 505 for a while and I only ever see white ones come up. Having found this on eBay and made an offer, it was very courteous of SUYG to point me to buying direct from their website to get a better price. The guitar was well packed, detuned for shipping and arrived in a day. Awesome service.

Excellent experience at sellusyiurguitar.
Aleks and the rest of the staff couldn’t have been more informative, knowledgeable, professional or helpful. Gave me as much time as I needed to try out the guitars. Gave me a good price for my trade in. I went in looking for a new electro-acoustic and ended up leaving with two at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Tried to do a part exchange on a guitar I was interested in. The trade in offer was good but they would only do it if I dropped the guitar off into their store. They didn't bother to find out where I lived...some 250 miles away. When I pointed this out they said they'd do their usual shipping arrangement but would charge me £55 for packaging and shipping!!! Mmm I don't think so. So moral is be wary if you want to do a PEX.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your feedback and I'm really sorry that we weren't able to meet your expectations on this occasion.

As stated on our website we are unable to offer our free collection service for instruments with a second hand value of £300 or lower. This was not a decision we took lightly, however due to the sharp rises in postage and packaging costs we have had no choice but to limited this service. Unfortunately the guitar you wished to exchange fell into this price bracket, and the guitar you wished to purchase was £145 excluding postage.

Therefore we made you an offer on the proviso that the exchange took place in our shop, as the additional courier fees would have made the trade unviable. When you pointed out that you were 250 miles we explained that unfortunately the courier service was not an option, and the final balance would need to be altered by £55 if you wished to use this service. While I fully appreciate that this figure may seem excessive, it is the true cost of offering the service once the total cost of our packaging, shipping the packaging to you, collecting your guitar to be delivered to us and finally shipping your new guitar to you is calculated.

It is worth adding that if you were able to arrange for your guitar to be shipped to us then we would only need to alter the outstanding balance by £15.

Please accept my apologies once again that our part exchange was not as clear as it could have been on the website, and for any disappointment caused as a result.

Kind regards,
Lewis

Couldn't ask for better service

Couldn't ask for better service from start to finish. I sold my guitar with SUYG on commission and their communication and transparency was perfect every step of the way. This was the most hassle free experience I've had when selling any musical instrument and I believe I received more money for my guitar than I if I had chosen to sell privately on Reverb or eBay.

Honestly the best experience I’ve ever had with buying a guitar, I’ve purchased a lot of guitars in my time online and in stores and I must say this was so pleasant and easy!
I saw the LTD M-1000 I’ve wanted for sometime being sold on eBay through sell us your guitar, I contacted the store directly and spoke for a long time with Tom who was an absolute legend, he answered all my questions and was so helpful and kind!
Before I knew it, I’d bought the guitar and it was with me in a few days In perfect condition!
The stores guitar tech Aleks even set the guitar up in my preferred tuning of drop C#.
I cannot recommend these guys enough!
I’m not someone who usually writes reviews but this was truly deserving, wonderful staff!

I had been looking for a mandolinetto for a while and spotted one on the sellusyourguitar website. The thought of buying a 120 year old instrument online was a bit daunting, but the combination of photos from every angle and a very thorough description convinced me to make an enquiry. After swapping a few emails a deal was struck, and the instrument was with me the next day. Great communication and great service.
