ELPASO Classical Guitar

I dabble with playing classical guitars, consider myself an average, intermediate hobbiest, playing mostly for myself and family. I wanted to upgrade. I was hesitant to buy a guitar online without playing it first, but I fell in love with the image of it online, and coming from amazon, I figured I could return it if it didn't work out. Luckily, it looks exactly like the quality shown in the picture and the sound is very much to my liking. I traded the strings out first thing as I prefer hard tension. As the previous reviewer stated, comes with plastic saddle and nut, which I haven't had a chance to replace yet. I didn't have buzzing issues except for sometimes on my 6th string, but to me it sounded like it would be fixed when I replace the saddle and nut rather than any fret issues. Overall I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

This is a sweet guitar! Quite a notch up from the Llano. Paracho makes charming guitars. There are some problems with them. The crummy plastic bridge and nut must be replaced with bone. There may be some fret buzz issues. Easily fixed with with strategically placed clear nail polish. You don't need to get a full fret job. The Llano, with its pretty monarch butterfly rosette, has a sadly bashful G string. This El Paso, by contrast, sparkles! Not only is it stunningly pretty, it behaves more like a fine guitar. Pop for the extra bucks for the El Paso. You'll be glad that you did. (It's cheaper elsewhere online).
