A couple years ago I bought an Orlando 334 classical guitar on EBay. I focused on it primarily because the seller was close enough that I could pick it up and save the $35 shipping costs. Competative advantage, you see. Seller said it was like new, and it was except for a detail I'll get to in a second. Since I was the only bidder, I took it away for a cool $12.50.

I was surprised to see it had a solid spruce top rather than laminated. Unfortunately my seller, knowing nothing about guitars, had just put a new set of steel strings on, and lifted the bridge a tad. I was dissapointed, but put on the correct strings, and played it anyhow.

Slowly, I came to appreciate what a well made and great sounding guitar this is. Nothing in the under-$200-when-new class can touch this. Heck, if it weren't for the damaged bridge, I would pay $200 for it used.

If you've got one, if it has low action and sounds good, *don't* let go if it. You may be looking at $300-$400 to replace it.

Just one man's opinion.
