    Please help me choose a nylon stringed guitar

    Hello all. I am in the middle of shoping around for a nylon stringed electric acoustic cutaway. I would prefer one of the crossover models i.e. acoustic electric with 14 frets to the body. Here are some of the models that interest me;

    Ibanez g200ecent @ 329$
    Ibanez aeg1one @ 369$
    Ibanez ew30sye @ 363$
    Cordoba Fusion 14 @ 799$
    Breedlove Atlas n250cr @ 799$.
    Cort but I can't remember the details.

    I don't care where it's built, I just want a solid playable guitar that will last.

    Oh yeah my budget limit is 800 bucks unless there is a truley awesome axe out there for a bit more.

    Thanks for the help.

    I saw some beautiful godins that had a mic inside and they were very reasonable, otherwise Yamaha is always a good option as well. don't know if it helps or complicates but I would be sure to try the godin.

    Thanks. I checked out the Yammy. Looks nice.

    Now might be the time to look at E-bay also I have seen some wonderful guitars ( classicals ) go for some very rediculuse prices, when you see a guitar that is worth say $800.00 and then it sells for $300.00, there are certainly great deals to be had.Good luck on your hunt I know it must be real tough to get choices in Prince Rupert or the areas around you with out having to travel all the way down here.Ship

    I bought an Ibanez exotic wood nylon string and I absolutely adore it. Not big on acoustic volume, but sounds nice. Plugged in it's amazing! Action and features are excellent, and it looks like a million bucks. I had played a cedar-topped matsuoka classical for many years - it was on permanent loan - and then the owner's boyfriend wanted it so he could "learn to play guitar". What a travesty. Much as I loved the matsuoka, I believe I've found the best replacement I could without spending thousand$. The Ibanez took a bit of tweaking by a pro to get it set up just the way I wanted, but it was pretty good right out of the box. For under $400 it can't be beat.

    In your choice: Cordoba
    For $3000 high-end student guitars, I think the best choice is Jose Ramirez 125 anniversary guitar (R4 level, around $2500).
    For $1000 below, Rodrigues, Almansa, Cordoba, Raimundo, La Patrie, Takamine, many choices. YAMAHA GC21 is also a good one, balanced tone (maybe a bit higher than $1000)

    I guess you don't need a concert level guitar so far:)
