I ordered this as I needed a nylon string for an upcoming gig, and this guitar seemed like good value. When I received the guitar, I was honestly blown away by the quality.
Firstly, it's a very striking looking guitar. The binding really adds to the instrument and the fingerboard is a beautiful slab of rosewood on an extremely comfortable mahogany neck. The fretwork is really excellent on this. Although there was very little neck relief when I received the guitar, this guitar has a truss rod so I was able to fix this very quickly.
In terms of hardware, the tuners are extremely smooth, accurate, and easy to turn (unlike many classical guitars I've played). The guitar sounds great plugged in and there is absolutely tons of volume on tap - far more than standard electric guitars, which I am used to.
I have only a couple of criticisms of this guitar. There's a bit too much volume on tap. This is mainly a problem when switching between instruments. I set this guitar to equal my archtop (so about halfway) but I found the volume control was being bumped higher by the underside of my arm when changing guitar. However, this problem can be easily fixed though by putting a piece of tape over the preamp. And for the price this is really a very small issue.
This is one of the nicest instruments I've owned, and according to a friend of mine, it compares very favourably to the Godin nylon range (which is considerably more expensive). I would thoroughly recommend this guitar to people looking for a nylon guitar for musicals/etc. It's also great for jazz players, and aside from bossa and latin styles this could definitely be used on straight ahead/bebop gigs as well. It's a keeper!
