Yes, I'm also into guitars. At one time I had a nice collection but I sold them on eBay. Now I have a sunburst Stratocaster, and a Fender Squier steel string acoustic. This afternoon my wife and I checked a pawnshop on 50th Street near Avenue Q and I found a very nicely constructed 3/4 size nylon string Spanish guitar. It was going for $100 but I offered $75 and they took it. Come to find out, it is a Cardoba Iberia Cadete and it retails at over $300! Typical street price is about $250. The one I got is in perfect condition and seems to have never been played. Perfect strings and no smudges or nicks. And it really is a nice sounding instrument. Excellent intonation all over the neck and that is surprising on a guitar with a 24" scale. Actually, 24.1 inches. My next electric guitar will be a Jaguar or Mustang, so this gives me a chance to get familiar with the scale. Now I think I'll list the steel-string on eBay.
