Legitimately good price. GC has been going crazy with the used gear lately. They used to overprice used gear and let it sit. Now, part of their strategy is to get in more used gear and get it out quick.

I think it's particularly true for that sweet spot of very active buyers: used guitars in the $1.5-3K range. Just really good prices. But I've not noticed the same holding true for the next tier up, small shop and boutique guitars, unfortunately.

Do you, or anyone reading, know if GC buys used guitar pedals? I've got a boatload of them sitting around collecting dust.

Man, that Wilmington DE store is about 25 minutes from me... and tax free shopping in Delaware!!

Yes, I just bought a used pedal from them recently and they had a cabinet full of various ones.

Regarding higher tier instruments, while there's some that the individual stores have overpaid for, there's also a lot of extremely well priced boutique instruments that go through GC but they sell very fast. GC is becoming like reverb or eBay in that you have to check the page a few times a day in order to find the sweet deals. Because the pricing is up to the individual stores, it varies a lot and the deals go within hours.

You should definitely drive over to check it out! That's a really good price for that guitar.

Thanks, Bowie. I might see what they'll offer for my pedals.
