It seems that Low-den is the wrong name to me. It should be called a Loud-den or a High-den.

Anyway, the reason I didn't want to consider brand names was because I had already picked out two and was trying to decide between them. One happened to be steel and the other classical. I was predisposed toward the steel, because I intended to play blues and western type music, but I thought I would ask around rather than take the "canonical" advice: Nylon for classical steel for blues.

I can see the advantages of a wide (and flat) fingerboard, and that is why I was considering a classical one at all.

I recently heard sombody here in Sydney playing blues on a classical guitar and it sounded good; but it was a very high-class guitar and the guy had a lot of experience performing on it.
