Wonderful guitar, for a student or seasoned guitarist.It has a solid german spruce on top, and laminated walnut on back and sides, it is made in Spain(not China), has a bone nut and saddle, it's light, sounds between classical and flamenco guitars(spruce top gives that bright tone)Sounds much better than Cordoba C5 or a few Yamahas that I tried in the store.Action was perfect for a classical guitar, neck is nice and smooth, sounds bright and strong.The bone nut was little sharp on the edges, but I fixed that easily.
