Members Carlosmanuelt Posted July 16, 2020 Members Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi, i have $250 to spend in a beginner to intermediate classical guitar and i refuse to buy a new one made by some robot in China. I did my research and it narrowed between a Crestwood model 2020 from 1968 made in Japan and a Yamaha G-235ii from the 70s made in Taiwan. Both are very nice but can't get detailed info to make a decision. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members garthman Posted July 17, 2020 Members Share Posted July 17, 2020 Classical guitars made in Japan in the mid to late 60's are often very good instruments so the Crestwood could be a winner. There could be some age related issues however so it would be a good idea to check before you buy. The Yamaha will be a good guitar - you can pretty much always trust Yamaha - but again there could be age related issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want handmade, you have to go Boutique like George Lowden ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
