  • That's basically what I was after but yeah, still pricier than it makes sense to spend at the moment... Feels like a gap in the market somehow, either that or midi stuff is plain pricey to make!

    @rodan It might be different now, but Stagg used to be a go-to brand for kids' first guitars and the like. Affordable and decent enough not to put anyone off the instrument. If they're already into it and you're after something a little better Yamaha should have a few choices in terms of price and (good) quality without being overpriced and I seem to remember Fender did one too. Anything more specifically classical guitar I wouldn't know. Also keep in mind I'm mostly basing it off what we used to sell/have in stock in the guitar shop I worked at one and off around 15 or so years ago, so might be a different landscape now!

  • Thanks. I’ve had a wee look and there seems to be a glut of budget models around £50-80, then the Yamaha and Fender just north of £100. I like that that Fender has a narrow nut width (which should make it easier for an 8-year-old to play), but suspect that the Yamaha would be best quality overall.
