Paul Adelerhof

Superb service. If you want to sell your guitars but don’t want the hassle of Marktplaats, this is a great solution. Good and friendly contact, and you’ll have the agreed-upon amount in your account before you even ship the guitar. Perfect!

Roel Weitering

I had a really great experience with Gitaarbarbaar! Late that evening, I saw a guitar I’d been looking for for a while. I suggested trading in my own. I received a good offer almost immediately, and we settled everything right away. I picked up the new guitar today, and I’m absolutely thrilled with it!

Bart Verhoeven

I was looking for a place to sell my guitar and found GitaarBarbaar. The service was fast and friendly, the price was fair, and I received my money immediately after dropping it off. All in all, fantastic service! If I ever need a guitar again, I’ll definitely be back!

Patrick Roeleveld

The listing included many detailed photos and even a video, which is incredibly important when buying a vintage instrument. The guitar arrived beautifully set up, ready to play right out of the case. If you’re looking for a unique guitar and a seller who knows what they’re doing, Gitaarbarbaar is the right choice.

Luke (Poland)

Lightning fast shipping from Netherlands to Poland! The guitar came untouched, nicely and safely packed in a box with a set of really cool guitar picks, a sticker and more! Also, very good communication!
