Fender, Martin, Gibson, Gretsch, Dobro and many others! Japanese markets have gone crazy and buyers are paying up to 20% over retail for name brand and good condition guitars!

The IVGCA has recently uncovered some rare guitars that could be hiding in a closet, attic, or basement near you. A 1960 Gibson Les Paul guitar sold for $100,000, a 1961 Gibson Les Paul SG sold for $25,000 and a 1954 Shore Line Gold Telecaster sold for $19,000! Millions of dollars have been spent on guitars from all over the world!

What kind of rare guitars will be revealed during our trip? Let's find out together. You or your next door neighbor just might be the next to find a jackpot in the attic. Start digging now and be ready to have some fun and make some money.

Elgin is the next stop for the IVGCA's world tour. During this event at the Country Inn & Suites, our collectors are hoping to see items such as guitars, amps, mandolins, bass guitars, saxophones, and all other types of musical instruments! That's right. Their specialty is guitars, but they also have collectors in all other types of musical instruments! These items are highly sought after by collectors from around the world!

Collectors are very serious about their hobby; so serious that they will pay a lot of money for the items they are looking for. The IVGCA is a place where anyone in your community can connect with collectors from around the globe. Our experts make offers based on what our collectors are willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell, they get paid on the spot and our experts send the item to the collector at their expense.

Keep an open mind when going through your attics and closets. You could come across the next big find! If you have an old Martin Acoustic guitar that hasn't been played in years or a brand new Fender that you don't want collecting dust bring it down to the show and let an expert evaluate it and you could walk away with a big payout!

Tuesday-Friday (9am – 4pm) Saturday (9am – 6pm)
