Thread Name: Martin Classical guitar
Subject: Martin Classical guitar
[I originally posted this message on another recent discussion "Why Are Martin Guitars So Expensive?" but picked up no response. Probably because the discussion had already burned itself out, and the contributions seemed to be MudCatRegulars saying things to each other like "Tee-hee" or "Shaddup". So I took the liberty of re-posting. I've checked the archive but found no info.]

Can anyone please give me their view on the Martin Classical guitar (i.e. nylon strung)? I've recently started learning to play nylon-strung guitar, and will eventually need a better model than the lovely old (but cracked and breaking-up, like me) war house I have (it's a hand-made UK model, the only identifier being a label saying J.E.Vickers, 1966. Any information welcome!!). I fancy the idea of a Martin nylon-strung 'cos that's the kind Willie Nelson plays - sorry, that's the extent of my argument!

Cheers

Norman
