Hi,
I've been playing gtar for a while now and I started on a classical - nylon string acoustic and I am disappointed with the way it plays and I want to upgrade.

The most I want to spend is about $400 dollars, and I know nothing about the good brands etc.

my current acoustic cost $80 AU and it has a warped neck :s

Im not really for a steel string, since I love the nylon strings sound - unless u ppl have great advice (Ive never owned a steel string)

Thanks In Advance,
John.

All Nylons have a different feel, like most guitars, than steels. Its difficult to find an appropriate "buyers guide for Nylons", so I would just go with one that feels and sounds right. You can get a very decent Nylon for 400 - so take your time and shop around.

I am fond of the classical guitar. I have an old Yamaha Classical Acoustic (I don't know the model though) that is still perfect and its over thirty years old. It plays perfectly and has a nice, subdued tone. I've tried others but Yamaha had the best tonal quality in my opinion.
