Yep, I caught that "bug" several years ago when I was wanting a Taylor nylon string...and Taylor wasn't in the process of starting that line yet.

I'm not a classically trained guitar player, but I just loved sound of a Ramirez R1A and I found a Martin nylon string guitar like Willie Nelson's "Trigger"...at the time I didn't have the money. When I did save enough money, I went and bought a Takamine CD132SC. Acoustically or electrically speaking, it really is NOT a bad guitar at all. I just have trouble adjusting to the wide neck.
