Good affordable classical
By chalupa2000
I purchased this more on a whim for $100 when it was on a daily deal. I had been wanting to add a classical guitar to my arsenal. While sure it's cheap, it doesn't feel cheap. The exterior is really well crafted and I love the natural non glossy look, it kind of looks like some of the Martin models in that regards. There were a couple slight blemishes here and there, but nothing to shake a stick at. Overal it feels really comfortable in the hands, though it seems like the upper edge where my arm rests cuts into my arm more so than some of my other guitars. This could be a problem with my playing style, or the body has more friction than I'm used to since it's not glossy. It's not like it causes pain after you're done playing, but just may affect comfort while playing.As far as the sound, I really like it. I don't think it's as warm sounding as probably the more elite guitars out there, but it is still pretty warm. So far from what I can tell the intonation is pretty much right on, I've went up to around the 7th or 8th frets and didn't hear anything wrong. Perhaps when I get home I'll test the 12th frets and see for sure, and perhaps update this. It did take awhile for the strings to stretch, but as I'm relatively new to nylon strings, I'm assuming this is normal, or because they are the stock strings that are probably cheaply made. But now that they've stretched, it's staying in tune much longer and sounds great.Would I have bought this guitar at $170, probably not. But I think it's probably worth that. For $100, I think it was a great deal and am very happy with the purchase.

surprised quality item
By whofan
The Alvarez regent 210 classical is a very nice guitar for the great price at Amazon.,Alvarez doesn`t mention it but this guitar has an adjustible truss rod in the neck making it a quality built guitar.The finish is satin instead of gloss.Maybe be either considered a plus or negative.I myself thinks the satin finish makes the guitar look richer.Very nice sound as well as build.I suggest purchasing a tuner as this guitar requires frequent tunning since it has nylon strings.After awhile I assume the guitar will stay in tune as the strings age a bit. For the limited time left as this guitar goes out of production its a excellent buy for those who want to get into playing the guitar.I have a steel string dreadnaught guitar, I bought this for easier learning as the size and comfort of a classical guitar is much nicer.

Not bad on sale
By PixelSmith
I bought this guitar because I've been looking for a cheap nylon string guitar to bang around on. It was featured during the holiday lightening deals and was offered for an even lower price. The sound is decent. There are a couple blemishes in the wood top. After the strings have a chance to stretch it stays in tune for an reasonable amount of time. The 5th string has a slight buzz which I don't think is worth raising the action to correct. I've played much better, but I've also played much worse. You usually get what you pay for, with this guitar, you might get a little more but not much.
