Here's a used Washburn nylon-string guitar I bought today.

new guitar


I bought it in Warwick.

The other day I was at Luca Music in Pawtucket and was wandering around the guitar section. A salesman walked up to me and said, "Can I help you?" "Sure, I'm looking for a cheap classical guitar," I said. "OK, let me show you what we've got," he replied, and started leading me over to the classical guitars. After a few steps, he turned around and said, "Actually, we prefer the term 'inexpensive'."

I wonder if it has the Buzz Feiten Tuning System (http://washburn.com/products/buzz/) on it? Basically this is a shortened nut-to-first-fret distance plus an altered way of tuning the instrument to make it sound more sonorous.

If you tune by ear, it doesn't matter; if you use an electronic tuner, though, it does. Either way it's worth finding out because the guitar will sound different and tune differently.
