Got an old axe you don’t want and need some cash? Consider this option.
Hit songwriter, musician and artist Brady Seals (Little Texas, Hot Apple Pie) has teamed with former Gibson Guitars web editor Gabriel Hernandez to launch Music City Pickers, which will specialize in purchasing and selling vintage musical instruments.
The two initially met while researching one of Seals’ guitars and bonded over their shared appreciation of classic gear. What was a hobby for both men soon turned into a full-blown business venture. The company aims to be a top destination for the buying and selling of guitars, basses, banjos, mandolins, violins, amps, keyboards and more. Sellers will deal directly with Hernandez and Seals in all transactions.
“We’re the middlemen,” says Seals. “We’ll shoot straight with you, tell you the market value for your instrument and then make a fair offer where both Music City Pickers and the seller feel good about the purchase. This is a tough economy and if you need some money in your pocket and have an instrument you want to part with, come on out and show us what you’ve got. We’ll do the leg work to put that instrument in the hands of someone who will appreciate it. No hassle, no bull.”
The company will make its first stop May 20-22 at the Comfort Suites in Mason, Ohio. Operating hours will be between 9 am and 6 pm.
