Topic: $$ Nylon Acoustic Guitar $$

I'm looking at buying a Nylon Acoustic Guitar ... I was wondering if any of you guys know of a good brand to purchase ... I'm not looking at anything over $200 ... but something that is decent enough to give my fingers a rest not to mention a different sound ... I've heard Yamaha's are very good

Electric:  Gibson Les Paul Studio, Schecter Omen 6, PRS SE Custom
Acoustic:  Fender Talman, Yamaha
Amp:  Fender Super Champ XD/Line6 Spider III 75

Re: $$ Nylon Acoustic Guitar $$

I realize this is more than you wanted to spend but I was blown away by the unique features with this guitar. Not your ordinary, everyday guitar. 11 string fretless acoustic electric.......The low E has a single string and the other 5 has 2 strings. It comes tuned standard and is a great guitar for those who like to travel off the beaten path, in musical terms of course...........

Re: $$ Nylon Acoustic Guitar $$

I've got an ancient Yamaha nylon string classical student guitar that has been beaten and abused, but it still sounds OK.  I think you'd have a hard time going wrong with the low-end Yamaha nylon string classicals.  That said, there are many fine brands available, and many of them have full-size "student" or "budget" guitars that sound all right.

I have an Alvarez RC10 that gives a great sound for $150.00.  Of course it has a plywood soundboard.  For around $250.00 you can buy a Rodreguiz Cabellaro 11 with a solid cedar soundboard and it's as good as any classical or nylon string I've ever heard.  Gets better every time I pick it up.

By the way, I have an Ibanez on order now for $300.00.  (Going up in $50.00 increments).  Mama is about to cut me off, so I hope it's a dandy!
