Classical Guitar Heaven - See our New Arrivals

We periodically survey the price of our guitar models across the Internet. When you call about a guitar, we will offer you a price BELOW the lowest one we most recently found.

No Internet customer has ever returned a classical guitar we selected for them.

One reason for this perfect track record is that we are professional players who know high-quality classical guitar sound, and don't ship guitars that fall below this standard. in other words, if we wouldn't play it, we don't sell it.

Another is determining the classical guitar preferences of our customers through expert analysis of our exclusive questionnaire. Call and we will send it to you via e-mail. Then, we'll choose a classical guitar for you based on your answers.

As a result of our consulting, you can potentially save $100s in shipping costs.

If You Know What Classical Guitar You Want, Why Is Personalized Selection Necessary?

Classical guitars hand-built from naturally varied, all-solid woods have a unique voice, even if one is identical to another in its design. For example, we recently received two of the same spruce-top guitar. The tone of the first was bright and colorful, but the other was dark and mellow.

Also, the "setup" or "action" of identical models can differ, affecting how easily the guitar plays.

As a result, customers who call about one model often purchase and keep a much different one. Without our advice, they would have ordered a guitar that does not meet their musical needs.

Your service is first class, and during the many conversations we had I found your commitment to me unparalleled. I could have purchased a guitar anywhere, but I would have never had the wonderful experience you gave to me, and I would never have ended up with the ideal instrument for me during this stage of my life and my ability.

I am so pleased to have dealt with the staff at Classical Guitars, Etc. When someone cares about you as a person and a player, regardless of your level and talent, and takes such pride in finding the best guitar for your circumstances and investment, you cannot go wrong.

WOW!!!!! I received my Cordoba C10 spruce today. What a beautiful guitar--aesthetically, sound, quality, construction, and on and on.

Customer 1. I can't tell you how happy I am with my guitar. It is more beautiful than I could have imagined. The look, feel, and sound are truly intoxicating. I have played it non-stop since getting it. Thank you for all your help and service.--Customer requested no name or city/state be posted

Customer 2. At 2 AM this morning I realized what a seductive a sound this noble guitar (Alhambra Luthier India spruce) can produce. Playing it is effortless and what a balanced sound! The fit and finish is the best I have ever held in my hands that did not have a face.

You have been exceptionally helpful with the research and guidance during the purchase of this wonderful guitar. Classical Guitars, Etc. has made this an enjoyable experience.--Richard, Geneva, IL

Please read our testimonials page as further confirmation of customer satisfaction.

Classical guitars we offer at every price point are selected by a master player. The selection criteria are: the best tone and construction quality for the dollar, ease of playability and intonation, and the power to inspire beautiful, expressive musical performances.

Every classical guitar over $1000 is certified and adjusted if necessary by a world-class luthier who creates instruments for concert guitarists and recording artists. As a result, these guitars reach their full potential in terms of beauty of tone, intonation and playability, far exceeding what you get "out of the box".

We are guitar purchase consultants with decades of classical guitar experience. Most importantly, we work diligently to find the ideal instrument for every customer. This includes a phone interview and evaluation of a classical guitar questionnaire. The result is receiving an instrument you will fall in love with.

When factory strings do not meet our standards for sound quality and playability, we experiment with replacement strings until we find the right combination of trebles and basses for the guitar.

Whenever possible, an extra set of the strings on the guitar are provided free of charge. If the factory strings are acceptable, but not readily available for purchase at wholesale, we substitute the closest possible facsimile.
