Moderately-priced 7 string nylon guitars available in US

[Guitar_no_lie]

I've been wanting to try a 7 string guitar, and I have been spending a bunch of time poking around online to see what is available. My experience is with steel strings, but I've been thinking about trying a crossover anyway, and there's a lot more 7 strings available in the classical/nylon world, so a lot of my searching has gone in that direction.

As someone just wanting to give a 7 string an extended trial, and not ready to invest serious dollars, I've focused on production instruments rather than individual luthier builds.

There's lots more of this type of instrument available in Europe and South America than in the US. I'm sharing here what I've found available for new instruments, where I've seen a price under $1600. Either sold in the US or shipped to the US for a reasonable cost. I am posting to make things easier for the next person looking into this, but would also be delighted to learn of additional instruments, hear comments on these instruments from folks who have played them, or have the information I have provided corrected.

Cheers,
Davy
