Cush

 

Hi, Cush here!

​

For over two decades, I have been performing, touring, collecting guitars, amps and all things music related. I am a fulltime, working musician currently performing solo gigs all over Perth and also performing around Australia as Lead Guitarist for Perth's Ultimate Creedence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary which features former members of Aria award winning band - The Baby Animals.

​

During this time, I spent a number of years working in music retail, serving the music community while increasing my 'guitar' knowledge, honing my Lutherie skills, establishing client relationships and making great friends along the way.

​

Collecting guitars and music gear is an addiction, ask any muso! I've just decided to turn mine into a business, so I'm always on the hunt for Vintage, Pre-Loved, High-end electric and acoustic Guitars, Vintage Amps, Pedals and Spare Parts.

​

Here at Cushmic Sounds, every item is meticulously checked over, serviced, set up and fully functional before being listed. I will not sell anything that I don't endorse. That's why I include plenty of detailed images and thorough descriptions and videos for every item.

​

What you see is EXACTLY what you'll get - Cush.

​

Looking to consign or sell? please get in touch.

​

Consignment

​

​Minimum consignment listing price is $2,000 AUD.

 

An accurate valuation will need to be done in person to assess overall condition, playability and working order but before doing this, I will request photos of your instrument with any documentation inlcuding serial numbers and proof of purchase (if available).

​

Once I have viewed your photos, if your instrument is of interest, I will then research to confirm the year, make and model but please be aware, I am selective about what I advertise on my website.

 

Valuations usually take a minimum of 3 hours. This includes extensive market research, gathering info from current and past listings both local and abroad, new vs second hand pricing, comparing models, condition and originality. I will then compile all info into a detailed email with my valuation, list pricing, realistic estimated sold pricing, and commission rates along with a copy of my Consignment Agreement for your consideration.

​​

Select guitars will incure a valuatiuon fee of $90 AUD per guitar. This fee will need to be paid before I submit my valuation.

​

This valuation fee is non-refundable if you choose to not proceed with consignment.

​

If you choose to proceed with consignment, this valuation fee will be deducted from the final sales commission at time of sale.

 

A meeting will then be arranged at my location and my consignment agreement will be presented for you to sign and date.

​

NOTE: For security purposes, I will need a copy your Driver's license or photo ID showing your address before giving my location.

​

NOTE: If any repair work is required to make the instrument functional and/or playable this will need to be done before listing and will be charged upfront.

 

Repair work will be done by Mark Taylor at Rocket Music Co - Guitar & Stringed Instrument Repairs & Servicing.

 

All instruments will need to remain in my care for a minimum 60 days when consigned for the best possible chance of a successful sale.

 

However there is no hold period, this means (you) the consignor can collect your instrument at any arranged time.

​

NOTE: At any time within the 60 day period (you) the consignor decides they no longer want to sell their guitar, a $100 AUD fee will be charged. If multiple guitars, a $100 AUD fee per guitar will be charged.

​

For consignment percentages, please submit an enquiry via email or phone.

Buying

I'm always on the hunt for Vintage and Pre-loved guitars, Parts, & Gear.

I do occasionally purchase guitars. I am selective, but feel free to inquire and show me what you've got!

Do you have vintage parts stashed away in a drawer, taking up space? These could be old pickups, tuners, volume knobs, pickguards, old manuals, hangtags, pedals etc.

Even old guitar cases are of interest.

These could all be worth $$$ and I'm always keen to view.

If something is of interest, I'll make you an offer.
