Weekly StringTree Update: Self-Service Auctions

Plus: a fresh new auction design + this week’s live gear lineup.

September 01, 2025

Reminder: Self-service auctions are live today, alongside a fresh new design.

Starting today, anyone on StringTree can create and launch their own auction. Upload your photos, add details, and our platform will generate a polished description, suggest ways to make your listing stand out, and help you schedule for maximum visibility.

You’ll also notice a fresh new look across auctions and make-an-offer items. Cleaner, easier to browse, and built to make bidding more fun.

And don’t worry: premium auctions aren’t going anywhere. Rare and vintage gear will continue to receive white-glove, editorial treatment and be featured prominently across StringTree.

Weekly Update: September 1

In 1935, America was deep in the swing of the Great Depression, and for many, music was a lifeline.

While the flashier F‑5 was already gaining ground, the F‑4 remained beloved for its warmth and refinement. This example, with its carved spruce top and flame maple back, even journeyed overseas as an export to South Africa, carrying the sound of Gibson’s golden age across oceans and through nearly 90 years of history.

Is your gear covered? 👀

We’ve partnered with WAX to make it easy to protect what you’ve uploaded to StringTree.

Whether it’s your full collection or just a few key pieces, you can now request coverage directly from your Showroom.

With StringTree, your gear isn’t just listed.
It’s showcased.

Simply upload your instruments, and we’ll take it from there:

  • Our system auto-values, categorizes, and flags key details

  • You choose: keep it private, open to offers, or ready it for auction

  • Launch a public Showroom to turn curiosity into offers and sales.

  • Browse collections and make offers on available items that catch your eye

It’s the smarter way to sell premium gear — while telling your gear’s story.
