NGD Nylon nostalgia

[Blille]

I grew up playing classical guitar so I jumped at a good deal on this Ibanez. It’s a crossover in case I get cold feet and don’t feel like playing strictly classical again after giving it a try. So far so good!

Cool. My first guitar was a spanish nylon... But someone lost it.
As my next one is always an electric I can never play nylon string.

Just to say you were right

Have fun.

I use a 'crossover' Yamaha nylon, with a slimmer neck, cutaway, great pickup, etc, and it is super easy to play. I play it a lot and record with it often.

Thanks!

Yes, this one also has a slim neck etc for playability. For my album ages ago I recorded using a friend’s Chet Atkins but I didn’t want to invest a lot without seeing how much I use it.

Hopefully I also get to use it often!

That's a real nice guitar and it has a cutaway for better upper fret access which is a bonus. How much did you pay for that beauty? I took classical guitar courses back in high school for 2 years and after bought a Takamine Jasmine classical guitar for $500 with a bullet-proof case back in 1990. I love how wide the neck is and the feel compared to a regular guitar. Congrats on your purchase.

Thanks! I’m happy to say I paid $167 shipped with case and new strings.

I've got one of those too! GA5TCE isn't it? Neck is like 44 or 46mm at the nut, and the neck and scale length feel much closer to a Fender style electric. I got mine because my RSI made playing a traditional style nylon string too painful. the tone is a nice medium between nylon and steel string to some extent too.

Yes!

A pleasure to play.

Now all you need is a book on how to play classical guitar. I've used this book back in high school when I took classical guitar classes and is a must have.

I thought about it but I'm think I'm just too old to be so structured. I'm just playing the pieces I like I've started to work on the three finger tremolo which I never managed to do before.
