Selling an acoustic guitar in Akola
Akola is a cotton and agricultural trading centre in eastern Maharashtra, hot and dry for most of the year with a settled population. The market is practical and driven by the agricultural calendar.
Agricultural cycles determine when households spend and when they sell, so goods appear in waves after a harvest. Turnover is slow and items are usually well used before they are sold on.
The city is small enough that distances are rarely an issue and parking is generally available. Summer heat is severe and shifts most arrangements to early or late in the day.
Akola, in Maharashtra, has around 540,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Akola
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.
What acoustic guitars are worth
What lifts the price
- A flat bridge with no lifting, and a stable neck angle
- Tonewoods that mature with age on better instruments
What pulls it down
- Cracks in the top or sides, even if repaired
- High action caused by a rising neck angle
Working out what yours is worth
- Look into the soundhole at the edge to see whether the top is solid or layered
- Measure the string height at the twelfth fret
Getting it ready
- Check the neck for relief by sighting down it from the headstock, and measure the string height at the twelfth fret.
- Inspect the bridge for lifting and the top for cracks, particularly around the soundhole and along the grain.
Photograph
- The full guitar front on, against a plain background
- The neck sighted down its length, and the headstock showing the brand
Put in the description
- Brand, model and body size or shape
- Action height at the twelfth fret, and any neck relief issues
Post only in a hard case, with the strings slackened and the headstock well padded — that is where guitars break in transit. Local collection lets the buyer play it, which sells a guitar far better than photographs.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
