My first classical!

Well I've been thinking about getting a classical for years now, but the fact that I only buy when I have the cash and the never-ending GAS in the steel string arena has meant I kept putting off getting my guitars a fat-necked brother.

Well with Christmas coming I finally decided there are just too many songs that sound SO wonderful with a nylon string that I'd take the plunge. Locally the options are really limited and what good guitars are out there are enormously over-priced (2-3x the cost of the US)

SO - I went onto ebay and found a guy in Orlando selling a Cordoba 75r for what seemed like a good price so I jumped on it. A beautiful guitar and looks to be in great shape.

It will be coming over next month with visiting family members and I can't WAIT to get my hands on her.

Here are a few pictures that accompanied the original ad

Excellent .... and best congratulations. Every guitarist should have a nylon string guitar. Enjoy!

should be a good one....I had a couple of Pro-R's (which I understand replaced the 75) and at the price point it was a nice instrument. Be prepared to do some setup work as you will have to with most classicals.
