I can' t beat it, Steve, pricewise, but I have a like-new Takamine Jasmine cutaway acoustic-electric nylon string guitar that I would like to sell. (If you are somewhere between Seattle, WA and Eugene, OR, you can see it.)

There is nothing wrong with it, but, having bought it because I thought nylon strings would be easier on arthritis than light guage bronze or steel, I found that the wider neck on a classical guitar is actually more a problem for me than the heavier strings are.

If your friend or anyone is interested, please let me know. I paid $400 for it (list over $500) and have hardly used it. I would sell it for $300 or consider other offers.

Good luck.
