I Purchased this guitar to get started playing nylon strings and get that warm tone they produce, and Boy am I happy to say, it delivered, Big Time. Never thought I'd stick with it with a guitar of this price range but I still play this guitar quite often love it's tone and playability.

Nice Finish, but no cigar!

Overall this is not a very well made guitar. Sure the finish was very nice and it has a big body with a adjustable neck but the sound was terrible and it's hard on the hands with the sharp edges of the frets. Mine had a bunch of flat spots on the neck, basically a lemon guitar. Purchase the Yamaha C40 and you will be much more happy.

Nice finish, clean bod and neck but poor quality. Not worth the price, this is really not a good guitar.

Very poor neck with buzzes everywhere, bad fretwork with sharp edges, really terrible tone.

Not worth the money, it's more of under a $100 guitar. I would not even recommend this to a beginner.

Nice cross-over guitar

This is a very nice little guitar if you are interested in crossing over from steel string flat-top or electric to nylon classical/flamenco on the cheap.  It features a dual-action truss rod and reference dots for the frets; neither of which are standard on most classical guitars.  The Ivorex II nut and saddle are nice. The fretboard was extremely dry out of the box.  The frets were badly tarnished.  I ripped the factory strings off and fixed both problems using 0000 steel wool for the frets, lemon oil for the board.  I put new Martin Nylon Strings on, and she was good to go. The fret dressing is a little rough, but overall the guitar is well constructed.  The neck has perfect relief and lines up well.  No adjustment needed out of the box.  I give the intonation a "B".  For a non compensated saddle, it's pretty much on.  Nice and even tone for a laminated body.  I'm very happy with this product

I love this guitar!It has a beautiful tone, it's sturdy, and it's a complete steal. Some songs just sound better on nylon strings and this guitar gave me exactly what I was looking for. I had to adjust the truss rod because of some buzzing on the first 5 frets, but that's not uncommon. And it came with an allen wrench, truss rod instructions, and a replacement bridge bone so it was a breeze to fix. The craftsmanship on mine is superb - this would be a great first guitar or nylon addition for any player.

Second time's a charm!

Overall:
I wanted a nylon-string guitar in my collection to replace an old cheapie that I broke, but I didn?t want to spend much money.  The reviews on this guitar were impressive, so I went ahead and ordered one.  The first model I received had major intonation problems on the B and E strings, and Musician?s Friend took it back without hesitation.  The replacement is absolutely perfect so far as I can see.  The intonation is fine, it stays in tune, and the tone is quite good for an entry-level classical ax.  I?ve looked it over from top to bottom, trying to find a cosmetic flaw like the stray glue that some reviewers have referred to, but I can?t.  The guitar is nice to look at and is a phenomenal value.  The bottom line is that I?m extremely pleased with this instrument.
