I've been doing as suggested and have been surfing the web, perusing into the used instrument sections, and reading reviews. I haven't made up my mind yet but since I'm not on a time schedule, I…"
Jan Vigne replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion Need Your Opinion On A Couple Nylon String Guitars"I would first check out the pre-owned pages of the better known retailers. Go to Musicians Friend, Guitar Center and Elderly Instruments, all of whom have a very wide selection of products. You can find a Taylor or two in…"
FloridaGull replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion Need Your Opinion On A Couple Nylon String Guitars"The one at Wolfe was new - a 2011 model. I have seen and played it - lovely. Worth a call to see if it is still there - Jay Wolfe and Graham Zebedee are good people - if you hear an English accent, you've got Graham...
Did you check out the…"
Lisa Thoms replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion Need Your Opinion On A Couple Nylon String Guitars"Thanks for all of your suggestions. That LaPatrie Hybrid is gorgeous. The one Wolfe Guitars had - was it used? I was on Amazon and it's almost $1000 so if there's is new, wow, that's a great price."
FloridaGull replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion Need Your Opinion On A Couple Nylon String Guitars"Check out the classical acoustic guitars by Godin - the LaPatrie series - http://www.lapatrieguitars.com/intro.html.

I'm in the market for a nylon string guitar. I sold my old one and just really miss having a classical. I did a search prior to posting and found that most of the topics posted were a year or older. So since the market is constantly changing, I thought I'd ask for some new advice instead of relying on the older posts.First of all, I want it to sound like a classical. I don't mind if it's an Acoustic/Electric. Secondly, I don't want it to go over my budget of $800 so that basically knocks…See More

Lisa Thoms replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion New, Well Kind of, Guitar I Picked Up This Past Weekend"Well Alvarez got back to me very quickly. This Regent 5212 was made in July 1994 in Korea and originally sold for $189.00. A nice company and a very pleasant E-mail. :)"
Lisa Thoms replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion New, Well Kind of, Guitar I Picked Up This Past Weekend"Thanks for filling me in on my new guitar. I've been enjoying it so far - it sounds really nice for a Laminate. And yes, I will not miss the old iPod. I prefer playing rather than listening to other people play! :)"
FloridaGull replied to Lisa Thoms's discussion New, Well Kind of, Guitar I Picked Up This Past Weekend"Well, I'd say you got a good deal, as no actual money changed hands, and it sounds like you'll use tha Alvarez more than the old iPod... ;-)
Alvarez, in general, makes a decent guitar - the Regent is their low-end, all-laminate series, but…"

I picked up this Alvarez Regent 5212 this past weekend. Actually, I found it on Craigslist and watched it over a couple days time. It started out at $120 and finally the guy had it on there for just $60 with it's soft case. I know it's a beginner guitar and since I'm a beginner I thought why not? I already have two guitars but what's one more am I right? I went out to do some errands and really thought it would be goneby the time I got back but it was still there and I suppose he was…See More
