Ibanez GA5TCE Acoustic Electric Nylon Guitar
Classical Acoustic-Electric Guitars
For the players who love the sound of nylon strings, but don't love the feel of the traditional wide classical neck, there's the GA5TCE thinline.

REVIEWS Feature: I wish it came with strap holders, but they were easy enough to install.
Quality: Seems very solidly built, and everything works well.
Value: For the price, this is a terrific buy. I tried out several nylon-electrics at a music store, most much higher priced than this, and regardless of price, this was the one I liked the feel and sound of the most. Well, there were a couple guitars in the $1,000+ range that were really sweet, but still, this was comparable for me.
Desirability: I play a lot of coffeeshop gigs, which can go three or four hours, and I wanted an electric-nylon which would be easier on my fingers after a few hours, and also because I like to fingerpick and like the feel of nylon strings. The thinner neck on this model is a particularly good feature, and the sound is really nice.
Sound: This sounds great through a PA, but is quieter than a typical nylon without the pickup.
Support: n/a so far
Overall: I love this guitar and wish I'd have picked it up a couple years ago when I first saw it available. The only thing I didn't like about it was that there were no strap holders, but that was easily remedied.
