Topic: teel strSome help or advide regarding classical/spanish guitar please?

hello,

after years and years and years and years of  playing, strumming and moderately picking steel string acoustic, my new girlfriend tells me she loves the sound of spanish guitar, and wants me to play.  i tried an inexpensive one out at a guitar store and found it realitavely easy (for me) to move my fingers around, and play some notes and chords  of course i'm sure it will take lots of practice before i master any good songs.  i'm wondering about these guitars.  the ones i've come across seem a little on the cheap side, and i don't want to make a big investment until i'm sure i can do it, or even like it.  any thoughts on a pretty good first classical guitar -- not too expensive but reasonable quality?  i tried an alverez -- seemed ok.  i don't recognize a lot of the names.  i play gibson, matin and epiphone in the steel strings.  any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

nonsense.... dont just pick one... What ever you pick you should invest in it for the same reasons you invested in a marting or gibson...  Picture yourself playing a $1000 dollar gibson.... now a $300 epiphone... totally not the same thing sound or quality but in the end theyll still sound very nice. Why cause its a good quality instrument. Same thing with the spanish.... Go to guitar center and play a $1000 alvarez then try a $300 Lucero... Same concept. Theyll still sound Excellent because both are ecellent instruments and establish brands... Ive been playing eight year devided equally between spanish and steel. If you want a quality instrument look into a LUCERO for lowest price yet good quality Alvarez for both mid price and quality to high dollar excellent quality or a CORDOBA for TOP DOLLAR WITH SUPERB QUALITY. I mean it sound like you know what your doing if you invested in martin and gibson you know what a guitar should sound like. Botton line get what feel good in you hands with most ease of playing. Best advice i can give is stay away from american brand of spanish guitars, although theyre good quality, IF YOU WANNA PLAY SPANISH GUITAR..... WOULDNT IT MAKE SENSE TO GET ONE FROM SPAIN???? STICK TO THE SPANISH BRAND MENTIONED ABOVE YOU WONT GO WRONG!!!!
