Trade guitars.
Keep your money.

The guitar marketplace built for players, not platforms. Flat 3% fees. Local meetups first. No more paying $85 to ship a Strat across the country when someone three miles away wants it.

How it works

01

List your guitar

Snap a few photos, fill in the specs. Make, model, year, condition, pickups. Takes two minutes. We handle the rest.

02

Find local players

Listings default to your area. See what's near you first. No more surprise shipping quotes killing the deal.

03

Meet up or ship

Local deal? Meet at a safe spot and swap. Far away? We handle shipping with buyer protection built in. Your call.

Guitar-specific

Listings that speak guitar

Every listing has fields that matter: make, model, year, neck profile, pickup configuration, fret condition, serial number. No more digging through walls of text to find the specs. Search by what you actually care about.

Never miss your dream guitar

Set an alert for a '62 Jazzmaster under $2,000 within 50 miles. We'll ping you the second one shows up. Stop refreshing. Start playing.

Guitarists deserve a marketplace that actually works for them

FretSwap is being built in the open. A fair marketplace where the fees don't eat your profit and the buyer is three blocks away, not three states.
