Godin makes really nice nylon string guitars. I have two - a Multiac Encore 7 string and a Multiac ACS SA 6 string.

These instruments seem to have consistently high quality from what I have seen across several examples over time.

However, these instruments require amplification. some models have hollowed chambers inside the guitar body so you can hear it well enough for personal practice unamplified. If you want an acoustic instrument, then some of the other recommendations in this thread may be a better fit. For performing/live playing amplified, the Godin is perfect because you should have little to no problems with feedback.
