Kremona all solid wood guitars I have experienced (both classical and flamenco styles) are very good quality guitars. I had a Fiesta for a few years that I liked. But felt I took a step up when I got the Kenny Hill Player which was also a more expensive guitar than the Fiesta.

I've played a few at the local GC. Loud as a cannon, with decent tone, but a little bassy and unbalanced. The necks were kind of clunky and the construction seemed a bit shoddy...

The last time I played one was about five years ago, so things may have improved. OK tone for the price, but ...

Agreed that the classical necks are on the chunkier D shaped side. The flamenco styles have a less chunky C shape.

Eyesore, I just bought a La Patrie "Concert" Just under $500. (list is $600+) Canadian made, solid wood, truss-rod neck, very nice neck depth and the 2" nut width you are looking for. The also make a model called "Etude" that is less expensive and several that are more. The tone is also well balanced. It's a pretty sweet little instrument. I've also been playing for a bit over 50 years, though not for the last 20. I'm going somewhat in the opposite direction from you in that I also acquired a really nice used steel acoustic. Good luck in your search, but check out the La Patries

I've A/B'd Kremona's, Kenny Hill's, and Cervantes' within the same price range. In my humble opinion the Kremona's hold their own against the other 2 revered brands.

They are manufactured in Eastern Europe, and very price competitive.

A friend of mine has had one for a year now. I think it sounds quite nice.

I like them. The electronics can be inconsistent though.

Here is a you tube I enjoyed of a Kremona guitar. It was identified in the comments section.
