Concert Guitarist Plays the Same Piece on 22 Guitars Back to Back - Entry-Level to Concert Level

► Do expensive classical guitars always sound better?
► Can you hear the difference between a A$400 Entry-Level and a A$18,000 Concert Level classical guitar? (and all the price ranges in between!)
I'm often asked how our different classical guitars compare across price ranges.
So, I've asked a friend of ours, world renowned guitarist Dr Daniel Nistico, to help us answer this question.
As part of this Classical Guitar Range Comparison & Review series, Daniel performs Lagrima by Francisco Tárrega on 22 guitars played back to back, from across all our price ranges.
This will help you both compare guitars within a price range, and also compare guitars across different price ranges - all from the GuitarsOnline collection.
► And tell me, which guitar was your favorite?
► Why?
► Let me know in the comments!

very nice comparison thank you! fantastic playing

[@karimkhelifi7747]

Thanks for these very interesting videos.
Nice comparison and beautifully presented.
I have an Alhambra 2c with laminated Sapele back and sides (they call Mahogany) and was very pleased to hear the differences with upper models.
I like Mahogany, and I like Indian Rosewood and Walnut as well. It seems the 7c is the last Alhambra with Mahogany (Sipo it seems to be more precise), all other models have Indian (most cases) or Madagascar Rosewood. I don’t know why Mahogany is not used more in Alhambra luthier series.
For Acoustic guitars (very different instruments indeed), we find Rosewood in the Martin D28 but we also find Mahogany in the D18 and in the Gibson Hummingbird.
Cheers from France.

They seem to grow in fullness from start to finish. That is, basses have more depth and resonance. Also, the trebles seemed sweeter and "rang" more. The player, obviously, has much to do with it since even the first beginner model sounded expressive (before comparison with others). This was a very good test. Even without being there in person it would give someone a fair idea of the differences. Dr. Nistico did well and apparently worked hard to give each instrument a neutral presentation. The Vicente Carillo and Alhambra 10P made the biggest jump in sound to me. I love Alhambra guitars and was glad to see them well represented. Of course, the Alhambra Vilaplana had an unmistakably refined sound. I would love to play one some day. But, realistically, I would choose the 10P.
Cheers for a job well done.
