Well by now you should know I got the HIrade TH90 handcrafted by Takamine, and Nylon strings do have such a different tone and character altogether, I've hardly played anything else since I got it (no name yet) but working on it...Chas - since Maree (my Yamaha G50A) has such a high action, especially if you venture past about the 5th fret and doesn't look like it can be lowered easily, I'm considering purchasing a Yamaha CG151C - RRP is AU$699 or more likely a CG171C RRP $899. I'm hoping to get it for a little less. I've read that the Yamaha's are best by far in the less than US$1000 bracket.
I haven't played them yet. I especially haven't compared the spruce vs the cedar top. But, in a few week (probably - although the Boss has said whenever I'm ready), I think I'll go on a pilgrimage to my local guitar specialist shop.
If anyone else has other recommendations in a similar price bracket, I'm all ears.
Go for it. They sound so lovely and have a different character to the steel string, which is really soulful.
I'd love to know what you go for.
Michele

Chas - I can't wait to hear your new Takamine.
I've got the notes down and am now trying to add expression - still working on that....
I'm now considering spending more than $1000 maybe even double that if I realllllllly fall in love. But, I'll need to feel like the difference in sound and feeling - including fit, is worth the extra money. I'm hoping to get to the store this weekend so that i can start checking them out. We'll see.

Sounds like you may be progressing faster than I,when I eventually got the Play through I noted the added expression that isn't obvious in either the pdf of GPro. Its like a slight rasguedo or arpeggio one or the other lol. The vibrato might be a challengeChas - I can't wait to hear your new Takamine.
