I too am starting classical guitar. I bought a piece of crap of local classifieds on a whim for $80 and quickly resold it. I was in GC the other day and was blown away by a Cordoba C7. Sounded much better than the C5 they had. I got home and started poking around on Reverb. I found this deal:

$320 shipped is pretty tough to beat. I think it is new, they just got a shipment without gig bags, so they can let them go pretty cheap. The shop has good reviews. I placed an order and it should be here next week.
