Title: spanish, Classical Guitar
Post by: Groundy on August 22, 2016, 04:10:33 AM
Thinking of getting a Spanish guitar, anyone any ideas don't want to spend a lot maybe up to about £150'
I seem to remember someone posting some music with one he had bought for his son, if I remember right...
Cheers.  ALEX

I have a few classical guitars; La Mancha Rubi. This a guitar that I can recommend, but it goes a bit out of your budget.

La Mancha Perla Negra goes far too out of budget, but it's a good sounding guitar with mic and eq, haven't used them, tho.

At first, I purchased Ortega R121 LWH (left handed), but if I compare it to the guitars above, the sound isn't so good. It's a bit cheaper than La Mancha Rubi, but I prefer the sound of Rubi.

The playability between these three guitars is quite similar.

Sometimes, I'd like to get a very cheap "camp fire" guitar like this: https://www.thomann.de/fi/startone_cg_851_34.htm

Not a big investment :) .

I think the local paper or the Scottish equivalent of Craigslist might prove useful.  Seems like classical guitars are being unloaded quite often.

If the two Harley Benton guitars I've got are anything to go by, this should be a good one to consider...

I have been considering one of these Johnny, They certainly look a lot of guitar for the money....
