Guys:
I decided I needed a nylon-string acoustic for my latest song, and I came upon the Ibanez GA5TCE classical. Very cool.
It seems to be designed toward the occasional classical player, with a narrower fingerboard and thinner neck than usual -- more like typical steel-string acoustics -- plus a shallow body along the lines of the Stratacoustic/Telecoustic or Chet Atkins models.
It's acoustic/electric with an active piezo pickup that sounds great recorded direct (which is why I got it) -- after taking some time tweaking the 3-band EQ -- and isn't such a chore to play as a traditional nylon-string guitar.
