anyone have first hand experience in buying a classical guitar in Granada? (MM I did search before posting this)... I am aware of the "famouse makers" offering instruments in the $3,000-5000 range but I want to spend no more than $1000(approx. 170,000-180,000psta)... I bought one in June from Casa Ferrer for $400 now its time to move up...

Hi jlawson! I just did a quick search on the fantastic www.Google.com search engine and found the following websites which you might find useful (if not, you could email the author maybe):

You might also try posting your question (in Spanish) in the soc.culture.spain newsgroup.

Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan
