Too late, I already have the Holy Grail that I purchased a year ago. Thomas Prisloe
built it for me.

Why do think this, Charlie? No challenge of any kind intended here, I'm just wondering what brought you to this conclusion. You could well be right, of course.

I bought a nice nylon cross-over guitar and I am just having a heck of time getting into it. I guess I just like the ring and sustain of steel strings.

Why? Are they going to run out of them?

I don't like the tone of nylon strings. Plink. Plink.

I sort of doubt it. There are historical and rare classical guitars but I never got the sense that that playing community put much value on "vintage" for performance purposes like you saw in steel strings. There is also the point that classical guitar design did not go through a down or off period as steel strings did. I don't see the top names in the genre touting the benefits of vintage designs so its hard to see where a big spike is likely to come from other than an anticipated shortage of raw materials and that doesn't seem to be in the cards at this time.

I love classical guitars. Not sure what Charlie is hinting at though.

[muscmp]

Classical guitars are popular all over the world - it's steel-string guitars that are mostly unknown.

A statement like that with no reason given as to why ...

Is this thread some kind of joke - throw out a proposition with no backing and wait for others to either "prove" or "disprove" it?

I won't be adding to the competition. That should take the edge off a little.

Just pulled the trigger on a second-hand Cordoba C5. A whole new world is opening up for me.

[mc1]

ok, i just bought 12. now what? keep going, or wait for the gravy train?

[Alexander Coe]

Short scale, ergonomic body, carbon fiber, nylon string crossover guitars are going to be the new hottness!

No reason.

If you think a classical guitar has a plink plink sound you either aren't playing a good one, or don't have good nails or good right hand technique.
