I'm a beginner-intermediate player and looking to pick up a nylon classical guitar for around $300. I'm wondering what the good classical brands are and what the best values are, and what brands to stay away from, I know there are some rip-offs out there. Thanks for any help.

so I bought a Cordoba C7 for $500 and it sounds very nice for the price and also looks good. anyone else own a Cordoba?

Heard they are pretty cool guitars, hope you enjoy it.

I own a classical, western and an electric guitar and I can tell you western guitars have the best sound

to each his own

western guitars are for hick music.

Cordoba makes amazing classical guitars

congrats on the purchase - be careful though, you might fall in love. after I got my classical I took up flamenco and ended up selling my $2.5k electric, two steel-string acoustics, and my english became broken as everything I listened to originated in Spain

one of my former students had a cordoba. it was a beautiful, great playing and great sounding guitar. I don't think you can beat it for the money, unless you buy a yamaha cg101 or cg102 for 400 cheaper, but the quality isn't as nice as the cordoba. congrats, good choice.
