Used classical guitars in Miami typically sell for $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 Miami
Miami is an international city with a highly mobile population and a hot, humid, salty climate. Boats and water equipment have a deep market, and humidity is the first thing to ask about for anything upholstered or electronic.
International arrivals and departures keep furnished apartments turning over constantly. Hurricane season is a real consideration, and for anything electrical it is fair to ask whether it has been through a storm.
Traffic and the causeways determine how long a collection takes far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser areas is difficult and often paid, so agree a specific spot.
Miami, in Florida, has around 450,000 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. Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Miami
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
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
- Cracks in the top or sides
Working out what yours is worth
- Look into the soundhole at the edge to see if the top is solid
- Check the bridge sits flat with no gap
Getting it ready
- Establish whether the top is solid wood or laminate by looking at the grain at the soundhole edge.
- Check the bridge for lifting and the top for cracks, and fit fresh nylon strings if the current ones are dead.

- The neck sighted down its length, plus the headstock
Put in the description
- Size: full, three-quarter or half
- 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.
