How Buying and Pawning Music Gear Works

When you bring a musical instrument to the Sparta location, the staff inspects it for physical condition, tests electronics if applicable, and plays it to assess sound quality and functionality. Guitars are checked for neck straightness, intonation, and fret wear, while amplifiers are plugged in to confirm all channels and controls work properly. You receive a cash offer based on the instrument's brand, condition, and local demand for that type of gear.

After you accept the offer, you receive payment immediately if selling or a loan amount if pawning. If you pawn an instrument, it is tagged and stored until you repay the loan and retrieve it. You leave with cash and a written pawn ticket that explains the repayment terms and deadline.

Instruments with broken necks, missing tuning keys, cracked bodies, or non-functional electronics are difficult to resell and may not qualify for pawn or purchase. Cases, cables, and original documentation increase the value of the instrument and make the transaction smoother. If you are unsure whether your gear qualifies, bring it in for a free evaluation.
