I have had my Soloette (classical model) for about 5 years. I discovered the Soloette through Sharon Isbins website, who also recommends it. My Soloette is extremely well made and durable. It plays very nicely, and for me, is an indispensable tool for practicing (especially technical exercises) when I need to be quiet. Ergonomically, it plays just like a regular classical guitar.

Have original nylon soloette, this is a brilliant design, sounds good, plays easy, the aluminum rods duplicate the feel of a real classical guitar, and the portability cant be beat. Fantastic.
