Has roseood board, brazilian sides and back, laminated, solid cedar top. Nice looking.

Great sound with clear trebles and nice basses that don't overpower. You can really drive this thing hard and get all the color you want.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Definitely a 10 in this category. The brazilian is dark but highly flame grained. Looks superb. Can't really see any imperfections.
Reliability/Durability

This is a discontinued model that has been repaced by the C132S. I don't know how old it is. Mine has a great finish that is holding up well. The tuners are okay but I see a replacement in the future if nothing else than I like the classy look of good tuners. Would definitely gig with this all night.

I've been playing for over 40 years and have played many classicals. This is my main guitar. It would take a lot of expense or money to get a better sounding classical so I haven't been looking. I have owned (and wished I never sold) many high end guitars over the years including steel string Martins. If you get a chance to get one of these, go for it.
