sir sale sa yupangco. almost 6k yung standard na classical nila. washburn almost 3k.

kung medyo on a budget kayo. try valencia brand. 3.8k cutaway na meron na din preamp at pickup (di ko alam kung piezo). available ito sa stagepoint raon. maganda ang quality ng kahoy.

You might want to check out fernando guitars. I had a friend who purchased a classical guitar worth 2k at JB and it was really worth the sound. Hindi siya tulad ng cheap 'ol maestro or raon guitars, kalevel niya mga yamaha/washburn/squire na entry level din.

Nga pala, you also might want to check SX out. May mga guitars din sila na swak sa budget pero maganda tunog para sa presyo.

Thank you sir.  for nylon guitars, what's the best brand?  I mean, yung value for money.  Pero if I'm willing to spend din naman, what's a good brand din?

thanks!

Cheers amigos! :D

I have to say..go with Fernando guitars.
Kahit made in China..quality is cleaner than most Lumanogs that you would see today. And the sound..maganda talaga.

I have a Fernando guitar myself...electric-acoustic. Doesn't sound 7k at all.  :)

yamaha c-40 or c-70


yamaha c-40 user here. :) maganda nga to, mura pa. made in indonesia, 4K, but that was some years ago. i'm not a classical player but i do fingerstyle work on it. may body ang tunog. no shortage of definition, too, unless your strings are really old. matagal na sa akin to pero di naman pumangit ang tunog. hindi rin napudpod ang fretboard or lumuwag ang bracing sa loob. pretty good quality for the price.

Ser try nyo mag Yamaha CPX or APX

suggest ko din kung pang simula muna ser pwede mo din testingin ung Ibanez AEG series sa Audiophile.  well built. kung maselan po kayo sa tunog ng acoustic baka mapansin nyo na may konting pagkukulang sa body pag hindi nakaplug. pero ayos naman sya pag naka plug na.

Classical ba ito?

Pero sa folk guitar, ok ang PU's ng Ibanez AEG - naka Fishman.
