Different construction methods allow more traditionally-built nylon strung guitars to be extremely light and lively.

Thank you!

+1 for the recommendation for the cordoba c9/ I believe that is is all solid wood construction (back, sides and top). Please check me on that. I bought a c 10 cedar and liked it so much I later bought a c-10 spruce. No regrets.

There have been a lot of suggestions - all good ones BUT
>>I think the first thing is to determine WHAT kind of music who would like to play! <<
Classical ?
Fingerstyle ?
Strumming chords?

this would be a determinate of the TYPE of nylon guitar that would best fit your musical intentions. -
IF YOU would add some info on your musical preferences - it may help with the suggestions

I have a steel string. This would be fingerstyle. Trying to make it easier on my fingers.

Well then, I think any of the crossover Cordoba’s should be of interest.
I’d find a local guitar center/Sam ash and try several to suit your ear, and liking

The Cordoba Fusion 12 in Cedar does anyone know where it is made? I assume either Spain or China but I have been unable to track that down.

Hello,
I don't think that changing guitars would help. The only question is: do you just want a new guitar?

I think investigating your action on the current guitar would be beneficial, and also retraining your left hand to fret easier.

Look into getting your guitar checked over by a pro and see if you need to adjust your action.

Common overlooked things for the left hand:
Fretting next to the metal fret wire is most common missing link for the students that come to me for lessons. They realize that they were using way too much pressure on the fret board. I find that they need to isolate this aspect of their technique and work on it separately and consciously with specific exercises to rebuild the neural pathways (muscle memory).
I don't know your playing so I can't really make any legit recommendations unless I see your left hand in play.
