Great write-up on your guitar page Rudy. The string info is very helpful as I experiment with my new crossover.

Microscope, I don't understand how, if you looked at the Cordobas, you missed their C9 and C10 crossovers. Both full size, neither has cut-away or electronics. The C9, cedar over mahogany can be had for about $850, and the C10, spruce over rosewood for about $1000. I haven't read anything but positive reviews about either.
I almost purchased one, but instead opted for a new Pono hybrid, instead. |

http://alvarezguitars.com/guitar/ac65hce/ I also normally play steel-strung guitars with 1 3/4" necks and wanted an affordable option to see what these nylon-hybrids were all about. They didn't have them in-stock locally, so I just ordered one. With a 30-day return policy from GC, I can test-drive it for awhile to see if it's a keeper. Or not. Tracking system says delivery this Friday, so I'll review it then. The Pono Hybrid also caught my attention initially, but the price tag was just a little too steep for now. Good luck in your search! mAXEd Last edited by maxed; 04-14-2015 at 01:43 PM. Reason: Added link and corrected grammer. |

It would be hard to argue objectively that that's not true, although I'd listen to counterpoint from some conservatory-trained jazz guitarists.

I agree....it indeed is "hard to argue objectively".....

When it comes to fingerstyle, I go to the flamenco guys. Deadly right hands. Search up some Vicente Amigo clips.

Technically, yes, but the repertoire is more limited than that of modern classical guitar. I have no idea of what point ukejohn is making. Modern classical guitar literature is the most complex of all the guitar styles and the technical demands on guitarists demand the physical characteristics of the modern classical guitar including flat wide neck. The literature simply couldn't be played on acoustic steel string guitars for technical reasons. If he has arguments to the contrary, I'd be entertained to hear them.

Michael Chapdelaine is outstanding, and Bach is always a challenge and at the top of the repertoire, but, and I say this with all respect to Bach and Michael, and I am sure he would agree, 21st century classical guitar repertoire is at an entirely different level.
Really. |

If you just want the nylon sound and feel and are not going to spend your life in the strict classical tradition how about a Cordoba Fusion 12/14? I have one and love it. 1 3/4 neck, slight radius, cutaway, on board electronics, om size. Anything can be played on it but the nylon sound really shines on Latin and classical pieces. Around 700 dollars. Comes with a pretty good padded gig bag. Check their web site
