Great Quality Nylon String Guitar as compared to others
Very impressed. I played on this in the store for probably about an hour before I gave in. Beautiful sounding nylon string...my first one. Easy to play even compared to my Martin SP00016TR. Being that it is nylon, I can go all day. Have tried a few different types of strings. Doesn't like ball end strings....they tend to stretch for days after installation. Very good quality construction as compared to competitors. Comparative in price. Very highly recommend.

I would recommend this guitar to anyone wanting to play or beginning to play a classical guitar. If you are considering buying a classical guitar, I would give this serious consideration. The best way is to demo this guitar at Guitar Center and play it!

This classical guitar is solid from a build perspective. Looks great and sounds decent. I've never had a classical guitar until now and don't want to sell this one short until I've gotten used to it. Up to this point the best I can say is "It's OK." Hoping a few months of playing it will change my mind.

I got this on deal of the day, and for the price I paid, it was an absolutely fantastic deal. Goes out of tune faster than my more expensive guitars (not a surprise). Has a nice sound, although not very well balanced (also not a surprise). Guitar has a wide fretboard. Good for fingerstyle. There's some junk / imperfections inside the soundhole. Doesn't bother me too much.
Sounds good, plays well, have realistic expectations

This guitar compares favorably to similarly priced competitors that I've tried. It has an open and well-balanced sound. Compared to more expensive guitars, it might be a little "compressed" sounding, but realistically I don't need a concert-quality guitar at my skill level. This guitar is quite resonant, to the point that when I play open string notes on an electric guitar bass guitar through an amplifier, if this guitar is in the same room, it will start vibrating pretty loudly, almost as if I had walked over and plucked it. Mine arrived well set up, with ~4mm action at the 12th fret (which sounds high but is standard for a classical), very little neck relief, and a well cut nut (which measures 50mm wide). I've had no issues with intonation. The finish on the top of the guitar is a very thin poly, which likely contributes to the resonance. The negatives of this are that the finish is easily damaged because it is thin and difficult to repair because it is poly. This is preferable to a thick, potentially sound-impacting finish. The area of finish where the neck joins the body began to crack shortly after I bought it, but this is only a cosmetic issue. Fret sprout is a common problem, but when this guitar's frets started to sprout, most of the fret ends were razor sharp and easily cut into my hands. Although annoying, this is an easy fix with a file, especially with a guitar at this price where you don't have to care so much about accidentally scratching the finish on the neck. Overall, I'm glad I chose this as my first classical guitar. It's become my primary practice guitar for not just classical pieces, but almost anything acoustic. It sounds surprisingly good just strummed with a pick, too. I find thinner (0.60mm) nylon picks give me a timbre more similar to that of finger nails.
