Trades

    Trades are always welcome. Please call to discuss the instrument(s) you wish to trade, and we will do our best to place a trade value on each instrument in advance. We will then ask you to ship the instrument(s) to us to view up close and call you back within 24 hours to confirm a trade value. The customer is reponsible for all shipping charges for potential trade items. 

    Please note: Fast turnover is an important component of our business. Once your trade item has arrived and a value is confirmed and accepted, your instrument will be put into our stock and offered for sale.
     

Consignments

    We are always happy to sell your instrument(s) on consignment. Please call to discuss the details and valuation of your instrument. We ask that you leave your instrument in stock for a minimum of 60 days so we can properly market the instrument. If your instrument is not sold at the end of this period we will call to discuss an extension. We charge a 20% consignment fee for all instruments we sell. There are NO fees charged for instruments not sold. The consignor is responsible for all shipping charges.

    Custom orders are welcome! The specs of each custom-ordered instrument will be reviewed in detail by the customer and Paramount Guitars, before an order is placed. A 50% deposit is required in advance for all custom orders. There is no approval period for custom-ordered instruments. All shipping charges and import duties are the responsibility of the customer.
