Used classical guitars in Pune typically sell for ₹5,000 to ₹23,000 (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 Pune
Pune is a university city and an automotive and technology centre, with one of the largest student populations in the country and a noticeably pleasant climate. Study furniture, two-wheelers and laptops are the things that reliably move.
The academic year governs a great deal of the turnover, with student accommodation emptying and refilling on a fixed cycle. Technology employment adds a second, less seasonal flow on top of it.
Two-wheelers are the normal way to get around and small handovers are simple. The city has grown quickly and the outer technology areas are a long way from the centre, so agreeing a side of the city matters.
Pune, in Maharashtra, has around 3.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Mumbai, Nagpur and Thane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Pune
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.
What classical guitars are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised luthiers and better factory models
- Straight necks with comfortable action
What pulls it down
- Lifting bridges, a serious structural issue
- Warped necks with high action
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the bridge sits flat with no gap
- Measure the string height at the twelfth fret
Getting it ready
- Measure the action at the twelfth fret and sight the neck for relief.
- Check the bridge for lifting and the top for cracks, and fit fresh nylon strings if the current ones are dead.
Photograph

- The neck sighted down its length, plus the headstock
Put in the description
- Action height at the twelfth fret and neck relief
- Any cracks, bridge lifting, and whether a case is included
Post only in a hard case with the strings slackened and the headstock padded. Collection lets the buyer play it, which sells a guitar better than any photograph.
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.

Is the top solid?
