GuitarAffair.com’s “Netflix for Guitars” model

Posted on 27. Dec, 2009 by The Transumerist in Guitar Rental, Rental Services

Custom and designer guitars are expensive, but good thing Transumers like us know that they can rent a $2,000+ “axe” for gigs, practice, or travel from GuitarAffair.com for just a fraction of the cost to own.

How It Works

Enjoying a guitar from Guitar Affair is a simple process:

1. Join – You must be a member in order to rent guitars from Guitar Affair. Because a rental is essentially a credit transaction, we run a credit and background check on all of our members. There is a $50, one-time membership application fee. You can apply for membership by completing the registration form.

Also note that our customers get very advantageous incentives on all of the products we sell. It’s easy to earn back your membership fee through the money you will save on everything from strings to guitars.

2. Select and reserve a guitar – Simply search our inventory to find an instrument that is available during the desired time frame. You can search the inventory by date, by manufacturer, or by genre. Remember that we are here to help you find guitars you will enjoy, so please do not hesitate to ask.

3. Receive your instrument – Your instrument will be shipped via UPS to your destination, be it a home, hotel, or vacation home. Our guitars ship in custom made Guitar Affair Gig Bags inside a custom made CaseXtreme shipping container. The container will have a lock and you will be provided with a PIN as part of the reservation. If you have also ordered a Road Trip Package with a headphone amp, cord, headphones, strap, and training DVD, everything will arrive in the same container.

4. Have fun – Enjoy the guitar for as long as you have it reserved.

5. Return it – On the return ship date, simply put everything back in the shipping container and ship it back. A return UPS label will be provided to you inside the case. There’s no tape or fuss. Just put the guitar in its gig bag and put the gig bag and other materials into the shipping container, close it, lock it, and either drop it off at any UPS center or arrange for a pickup.

We call our rental experiences “Affairs” because we want each rental to be a positive emotional experience for you. Whether you are on a business trip, a family vacation, or just want an escape at home, we stock a variety of superb guitars that we can deliver to your location for you to enjoy. If you’re on a trip, our Road Trip™ option will deliver a guitar, headphone amp, headphones, cord, strap, and your choice of a variety of instructional items or backing tracks, all in a single road case. When you’re done, just slap on the return shipping label and send it back. What could be easier? All of our guitars are professionally maintained to give you the best experience possible. All of our accessories are selected for their performance and luxury. Even our suppliers of straps and cords are individually selected from the best products on the market.

When purchasing a guitar from Guitar Affair, whether it is a used instrument from our fleet, or one of our amazing boutique guitars, you can always expect to be pampered with service and you should never expect to be forgotten once the transaction is complete. All of our instruments are set up to a professional level, unlike the instruments you find in most retail music stores. We also carry an array of boutique guitars that you will not easily find in stores at all. Try them out through our Affair program. If you like one, you can purchase the guitar directly from us, often at a significant member’s discount and often with a refund of some, or all, of your Affair fee. We also offer a large variety of high-end accessories to our members, often at substantial savings over the large retailers.

We hope that you’ll give us a chance to earn your business.

We urge you to learn more about how our program works, and to browse our fleet of well-known and boutique guitars.
