Comparative Classical Guitar Reviews
At GuitarsOnline, our goal of selecting Your Perfect Spanish Guitar, Fitted for Your Unique Playing Style, Sourced from the World’s Pre-Eminent Luthiers, means we carry a very extensive range of guitars - currently 11 brands with 50 models, and 1200 guitars in stock - from student-level to concert.
I’ve assembed this range with the experience gained from almost 50 years of playing and testing more than 3,000 uniquely different guitars from more than 70 different luthiers and helping match almost 18,000 people with their dream guitar.
With such an extensive range that we DO stock, I’m always being asked for my view on guitars that we DON’T stock.
So, I’ve put together a few thoughts on a number of models of popular classical guitars, with some suggestions for anyone planning the purchase of their next guitar.

Entry-Mid Range Classical Guitars: $500 - $1000
Mid-Range Classical Guitars: $1000 - $2000
