This is my first post. I own a 1974 Hernandis Classical which I believe it is made of pine. I bought it new in 74 for about $700. I also owned a 1978 Ramirez that I bought new in 78 and recently gave to my son. I compared the two guitars and they were surprisingly close in tone. I am old (77) with marginal hearing, but I did this carefully in a quiet room with my ear next to the guitar body.
Don't know if this is the same Hernandis in question, but this is my experience. The one I have is obviously of decent quality. My $0.02
