re: Guitar Question

Someone gave me (which I learned) a cheap classical acoustic guitar years ago, which I never could get along with.

I always felt like it was so difficult to get chords down and hold them. I've been told that classical guitars have high action, and that's the reason. I also had issues keeping it in tune, which I was told this is because of the nylon strings.

You had trouble with it because it was cheap. With that said I have a cheap, $200 Yamaha Classical that I love. Its pretty much all I want to play now. Action is good, stays in tune, although it took a week of playing it for the new strings to settle in. Now the neck is much wider on a classical so if you have small hands that might be an issue. Its funny, now when I pick up a steel string, the neck feels like a toothpick in my hands.
