RE: Double-Blind Violins: Towards A More Objective Selection
Excellent article. I was thinking that many of the ideas here apply equally well to the manufacture of acoustic guitars. I have been toying around with the idea of taking the instrument up (mostly to play classical music), but I'm not sure how to find a good, reputable luthier--and how much I would have to spend to get a nice instrument. So I'm still looking.
Yeah, the principles are the same. It does depend on your level of skill, for most cases a classical guitar for $5k to $10k is the norm.
If only for occasional use $1k. About the luthier check in google a place close to and the luthier will orientate you. Of course, italian and Spanish instruments have the best reputation but most of the time one is merely overpaying for it.
