domhatch here's the deal. i'm thinking of bringing in an inexpensive nylon-string guitar because i love the way they feel and sound. i'm not overly fussy at this stage in terms of tone as i won't be recording or anything fancy with it, it'll just be to get me up and running on the instrument. i found one at around a click, new. any ideas on other brands i should be looking at? i've also heard of nylon/classical guitars loaded with strings that offer a little extra tension for added, well, for added bang i guess. anyone else cocked an ear or even better, a play on these and if so, where, and in a different price range? does anyone even know what i'm talking about here? thanks y'all dh
Squonk I have played these at a couple of Cash Crusaders/Converters and they are surprisingly awful. I am a huge Yamaha Nylon fan and was dissapointed with the quality of this instrument. Gumtree etc, I have seen some older Yamaha's go for quite cheap.
djpauw Just agreeing with the others here quickly... I have an old CG65 which is wonderful to live and play with, also have a new CS40 and it can not even compare. Looks like the new lower end nylons are skimping on quality. I won't be able to recommend a different one though since I don't have much experience with them, but yeah definitely steer clear of the C40.
AlanRatcliffe domhatch wrote in the same price range? around a thousand? The Cort AC10 retails around R1k - R1100 IIRC, so discounted should cost you R750 - R800.
