Thinking about getting a classical . . .

[Bryan T]

A traditional classical (no cutaway, wide neck, 650 mm scale length, probably cedar/rosewood).

What should I look at for under $1K? Under $2K?

Thanks!

check out Pavan Guitars given your price range...i recommend the TP30 HIGHLY

I would suggest Trilogy Guitars as a place to check out:

http://www.trilogyguitars.com/www2/

They were recommended by my teacher and have a wide variety of instruments. You can go there and they'll have a bunch of guitars for you to play in privacy. They let me take three of them home and play them for a week. I really felt like I had time to suss out which guitar was right for me. They have both new and used instruments and am sure they would have something in your price range.

Between Trilogy and Guitar Salon, this area of town is rich with classical guitars, isn't it?

Loriente
Hill
Lucida
Hippner
Giambattista
Pavan
Navarro

are a few to look at.

It seems to be. I never made it to Guitar Salon but I've checked out their website and they do have some nice guitars.

BTW, thanks for the recommending Leland at Westwood Music. He seems like a nice guy and I'm glad my guitar will be in good hands.
