Guitarists, I need your quick advice.

[Fox Body]

I posted about getting a new Classical guitar and got lots of great advice from you all.

I went by the local music store and they had a bigger selection than b4 (4 classical guitars!!). Anyway, I played one really nice one for about an hr., trying different techniques, listening to quality, feel, looks. It looks pretty good (my taste), sounds very good and has a 3 band equalizer and built in pickup. The name brand is La Patríe. Never heard of it. It's made in Canada.

It was the best sounding one in there. Perfect amoung of action on the strings, beautiful sound, good looks, and the added benefit of being able to plug it in an amp. Price is $599 and I told them that it would have to come with wooden case for me to buy it. I have them holding it for me until Friday when I will go and tell them my decision whether to get it or not.

I don't want to be greedy and try to hold out for the best guitar at the lowest price b/c that would take forever, but I also don't want to settle for less than perhaps I could get. It is well below my price range ( < $1100). Honestly, I am not in love with the guitar, that's why I am not totally sure about getting it and want your advice. If I want to get a better one or searhc for more, I will have to go out of town. I hope that fact isn't making me quick to buy this one b/c it is in town. But then again, like I said, it sounds really good. ONe of the best I've heard--honestly. Hard to explain.

Let me know what you think please.
