Used classical guitars in Delta typically sell for C$75 to C$340 (about $54 to $240). Classical guitars are judged on whether the top is solid, which is the single biggest factor in both sound and price.
Selling a classical guitar in Delta
Delta is farmland, port and suburb in three distinct communities separated by fields and water, with one of the country’s largest container terminals on its coast. It is flat, it is agricultural, and it does not have a single downtown at all.
Port and agricultural work both run on shift and seasonal cycles, and the farming community keeps tools and equipment circulating that the suburban parts would not generate on their own.
Agree which of the three communities before anything else — they are a real distance apart and the name alone tells you nothing. Driving is essential and the land is flat, so access is rarely the issue.
Delta, in British Columbia, has around 110,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
