Electro classical guitar, any advice?

[AlanMcKillop]

I'm looking to purchase an additional guitar for my collection and was considering the above, as I don't have one. It doesn't need to be a top end model, but I reckon I'll need to spend £400/500 for something half decent.

Does anyone have any suggestions on models/makes from which I can start? I have searched the internet and the choice is vast, so some starting points would be great.

There are quite a lot to choose from these days Alan. If I were looking I would start with Yamaha are work through the usual suspects like Aria, Takamine, Washburn etc.

Hi Yamaha are good they produce two types of nylon guitar the 1st with a standard width classic guitar neck width and body shape and the 2nd with a more modern shape neck with a APX type body .Both come in various price points and finishes .

However a Takamine electro classical would be my first call the Cooltube pre amp fitted is 1st class for warmth and detail

These might be worth a look in your price range

Thanks for the replies, I'll give you a call Hugh. I liked some of the Yamaha's as some of there models have a fingerboard more akin to electric/acoustic sizes and that appeals rather than the wider classical style.

Are the Gibson ? Epiphone Chet Atkins models still around?

Looks like I may have managed to get a Yamaha NTX 700 in black.
