Maybe I could get a classical guitar from an argentine luthier (I'm from Argentina) and then get the K&K. Or maybe the tone knob from electric classical guitars is actually necessary...

As mentioned, the K&K is very natural sounding... but the onboard preamp on good A/E guitars gives you tonal, volume, phase, and feedback-suppression options.

Yes, still a difficult decision.
I think I'll run some tests.
One of my step cousins has an electric classical guitar, I may ask to borrow it from her a week and run some recording tests.
If the condenser mics + direct in line combo works for the electric classical guitar that might be it.

On the other hand it's possible to buy a second-hand luthier classical guitar (no electronics) for a good price.

If I think of the pros of each instrument:

>Classical Guitar (no electronics)
-Wider tone
-Don't have to pay for the electronics as it doesn't posses any, only pay for the "wood" and craft.

>Electric Classical Guitar:
-Less trouble for playing live/street (one cable to an amp)
-Already comes with a pick up microphone.
-The distance between strings seem to be shorter. Which actually I don't know whether if it's good or not.
