I love my Guild D40, which happens to have a bad bridge right now, for classical and ballads I like nylon strings. I have the same type of guitar that Willie Nelson owns, but I bought a version that didn't have a finish on it. the reason they did this always evaded me though. During an open air concert one time I jumped off the stage at rehearsal and crack the top. It never had the same sound again after I repaired it. My other favorite is an Ovation nylon, but I wouldn't recommend it to classic guitarists, because it has a tendency to slide on the left knee. These guitars I have had for over 30 years and I would not trade. Once you find a guitar, I feel you have to keep working on it until it fits you. I've seen a lot of nice guitars, but I cringe when I think about what it takes to break them in.
