Hi, I'm a steel string finger and flat-picker and I've got some really good stuff, but I remember back in the late '60s /'70s knowing (!) two young ladies who each had Levin classicals which, at the time impressed me.
I know that Levins were a good brand and sadly no longer in existence, but has anyone any suggestions for a brand price level for a classical for general noodling
Ta ever so.

I have noticed a massive rise in the number of used classical guitars for sale in recent months. Not the £25 wonders that you see everywhere but really very nice quality guitars and relative to steel strung acoustics, for sale at very reasonable prices. A guy near us has been selling off quite a few, mainly luthier-made guitars, and they even tempted me to dip my toe in the water. I even considered giving him a call with a view to going over and trying one or two until I looked a little more closely at the specs and most of the nut widths were 52mm!!!! Prices for luthier-made classicals with all solid woods seem to be in the region of £800 upwards but, more often or not, around £1000. Most have hard cases and are in really good condition. This seems to be fairly representative and the guy selling this has loads of classicals for sale, some very inexpensive: www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/nick-branwell-classical-guitar-/1437164214

Great decision! You can't go wrong with Picado, especially if you deal directly with them. Jonny
