For classical guitars, you really get what you pay for. The lower priced ones (even 300-600 range is lower priced for classical guitars) will sound much different from the mid and top tiers. These are definitely the types of guitars you need to play before you buy. Get to a local shop and start playing some to compare. I went to a bunch of different shops and played tons of them before I finally settled on one. Was $1300 and bought it used for $800. I do want an upgrade though.
