Want to buy an acoustic...
guitarock78
So I normally play electric, but I want a change and I thought I'd buy an acoustic, I have narrowed my choices down to two different guitars based on their playability.

and
http://www.swisslink.com/products/music_instruments/student_classical_guitar_model_java_ebony-13-1693/
I would like to know who has the better reputaion for quality and craftsmanship, also who uses higher quality wood and which one would just last longer overall.
Thanks

You don't say where you live, so one can't recommend a real world shop that you can go to to try the actual guitars - which would allow you to make a more informed decision.
The two web pages that you provide links to both have a facility that allows you to request more information.
Always better to go to a shop and play them, see them, hear them etc etc.
Both guitars are described as "hand crafted"? Both at less than a 1000 dollars (US, I presume), so you have to wonder exactly how the sellers define "hand crafted".
The essential difference would seem to be in the top woods. One has a cedar top, the other spruce. All else being equal the different top woods will deliver different tones. Which is better for you is a personal, subjective choice. I recommend you go to actual shops, plays actual guitars, ask questions, decide what suits you. And take your time! You are spending good money so you should be allowed to take the time to form an opinion and make a decision.
Lastly my usual tip: Consider buying a good condition 2nd hand instrument. You can often get more guitar for your money that way.

Both look very nice ?

Classical guitars these with wide necks very different from what you used to with electric.

I was looking at one of these today.... cant buy it now, but surely will once I hit the UK.
The pearloid inlay on the fretboard is amazing!
