How It All Began – From Passion to Idea

I am Patrick, founder of Pat’s Guitars.
Not too long ago, I started listening to guitar-heavy music – bands like Slipknot, Metallica, Rammstein, or Mötley Crüe immediately grabbed me. Only then did I realize how fascinating electric guitars really are.

A friend bought a simple beginner guitar back then. Since playing wasn’t his thing, he offered it to me. I thought: Why not? Just give it a try.
That’s how my first electric guitar came to me – and a new hobby was born.

After a short time, I noticed that the instrument wasn’t particularly high quality. So I started looking around. Through classifieds, I found used guitars, bought them, tried them out, and sold them again.

After a few weeks, several instruments were at my home – and suddenly it was clear: This is more than just a hobby.
From this enthusiasm came the idea for Pat’s Guitars – a place where musicians, collectors, and enthusiasts can find high-quality second-hand guitars. Even though today the expansion of the company is the focus, the passion for guitars, playability, and sound remains as strong as on the first day.

From Hobby to Business – Our Mission at Pat’s Guitars

When I realized that trading used electric guitars was profitable, I began to focus intensively on repair, refurbishment, and maintenance. Today, Pat’s Guitars stands for quality, passion, and fair prices.

Pat’s Guitars was founded in the fourth quarter of 2023 in Stolberg near Aachen.
What started as a one-man project is now a growing team with expertise in purchasing, technical refurbishment, photography, logistics, and customer service.

We source our guitars from many places – from Germany, from Europe, and also through imports like Fender Japan, Tokai, Greco, or Orville. Every single guitar is carefully inspected and professionally refurbished:

  • thorough cleaning

  • technical inspection

  • setup and new strings

  • transparent description of all details

This ensures that you always receive a used electric guitar in perfect condition from us.

Our Values – Passion, Transparency, and Fairness

At Pat’s Guitars, the customer is at the center. We respond to every inquiry quickly and reliably and go the extra mile for every customer.

Our listings are completely transparent – we openly point out signs of use, repairs, and modifications so that you know exactly what you are buying.

Equally important to us are fair prices:
We always try to stay below the common market price to offer you the best possible value for money.

Whether Fender Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul, Tokai Love Rock, or a rare vintage Japanese guitar – every guitar tells its own story.
We want these stories to continue and new music to be created.
