The people in note 2222 might know.

3166.2 | What are you looking for? | CUSTOM::ALLBERY | Jim | Mon Jan 22 1996 08:38 | 14 |
| Not that I can help you with recommendations in the New England area
(I'm in Detroit), but what sort of classical are you looking for?
o Upper high-end? (Ramirez, or individual Luthier (e.g. Humphries,
Fleta,...)
o Mid-to-high (Hirade/Takamine, high-end Yamaha, Alvarez/Yairi,
Ramirez student models, etc.)?
o Beginner?
You choice will likely impact any recommendations made.

3166.3 | Dropping the Ibanez in favor of the Albeniz | DREGS::BLICKSTEIN | General MIDI | Mon Jan 22 1996 08:52 | 12 |
| Seems like the reviews are mixed about "Music Emporium" in Cambridge,
but that's where I bought mine. Mine is a fairly inexpensive model
but when *I* was looking they had classical guitars ranging from $150
to about $3200.
That was about 4 years ago though...
db - who's contemplated throwing out the electrics and becoming
a purely classical/spanish guitarist. Haven't picked
up an electric since my main band (db wilfred) broke up.
And while that band was going, the ONLY time I played
electric was at gigs. At home, I only played classical.

3166.4 | Med/High end | DSSDEV::DEFELICE | | Mon Jan 22 1996 08:52 | 4 |
| I'm basically looking for med. to high-end instruments. But, not the
real high end stuff that Guitar Salon International adverts for BIG
money. I'd like to look at some offerings by Ramirez.

| Try the Von Heune Workshop in Boston (or maybe Brookline). They specialize in
early instruments, but might have some used instruments. Also, I found some
used guitar shops around Northeastern U. about 8 years ago. They had some
pretty good guitars then.

| Just called Music Emporium. They have three (3) classicals in the
store. Not sure if it's worth the trip.
