| Can you tell the difference between a $200 and a $200,000 guitar? There are tremendous differences in the tone of acoustic and classical guitars. @Kijanki summed it up pretty well. with fine, completely hand made classical guitars, the clarity, warmth and depth of tone are completely different from cheaper gui... | |
