Used classical guitars in Aberdeen typically sell for £40 to £180 (about $54 to $240). Classical guitars are bought on top construction and action, so say whether the top is solid cedar or spruce or a laminate, and give the string height at the twelfth fret.
Selling a classical guitar in Aberdeen
Aberdeen is built almost entirely of granite, which gives it a colour nothing else in the country has, and it has been the oil capital of Europe for fifty years. It has two universities, a working harbour and a climate that is genuinely cold and windy rather than merely northern.
Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once rather than gradually. Two universities clear student housing each summer.
The centre is compact and walkable and the station is central. Wind here is constant rather than occasional, which matters for anything being carried or loaded outdoors.
Aberdeen, in Scotland, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Aberdeen
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.
