Sell your music gear
in Malta — cash or trade.

At Sun-Sounds in Sliema you have two options: we buy your gear outright with same-day payment, or you trade it in against other gear from our shop. Contact us through whatsapp or email with the make, model, age, condition and a few photos and we'll quote within a couple of days.

Same day. Once you accept our offer and we've inspected the instrument in person at our Sliema shop, you walk out with payment that day.

Our focus is used and vintage electric and acoustic guitars, basses and amplifiers; but we also buy effect pedals, drum kits, keyboards, synthesizers, microphones, studio equipment and specialty instruments. If you're not sure, just send us a photo and we'll tell you straight away whether it's something we'd take.

Often, yes. Our workshop services hundreds of instruments a year, so we're comfortable buying gear that needs work; the offer simply reflects the cost of repair. Vintage instruments in original but worn condition often have more value than restored ones, so don't strip them down before showing us.

Yes. Tell us what you've got and what you're looking at. We'll value your gear, value the gear you want, and structure the trade; either we add the difference or you do, whichever makes the deal work.

We've bought and traded Fender, Gibson, Martin & Co, Gretsch, Guild, PRS, Epiphone, MusicMan, Ibanez, Danelectro, Taylor, Höfner, EKO, Takamine, Yamaha, Roland, Orange, Marshall, Vox, Sonor, Pearl, Tama and Ludwig ... among many others.

For a final offer we do need to see the instrument in person at our Sliema shop. For an initial estimate, however, send us photos and basic info by whatsapp or email and we'll give you a likely amount before you make the trip.

We base offers on the current resale market; recent eBay, Reverb and similar sold listings; adjusted for condition, originality, included accessories (original case, receipts, paperwork) and how easy the item is for us to resell. We'll always explain the reasoning behind our offer if you'd like to understand it. It is important to note that we are a business, therefore we pay taxes over sold items, and have big suppliers worldwide who offer us great prices; therefore the offers given also reflects these percentages and comparisons.
