Best "second" classical guitar

OK, you wanted a question. Here you go:

I have been taking lessons for almost a year and I love classical guitar. Especially 4-3 pull-downs and any 4-finger hammer down!

Question is: what is the best 'second' guitar? I have been playing on a Yamaha 101 and soon I'll want to move to the next step up. I want to spend around $500. What do you suggest for my next guitar?


Hi!

As it happens, I just bought a guitar recently. The Paulino Bernabe 20 model. Although that sounds out of the range you want to spend I did contemplate another guitar at the time that was much less expensive.

It was the Ramirez S1. It felt really good and it did cross my mind to buy it. At around $1500 it's a little more than you stated but if you could save your money for a while longer I think you'd be happy with a guitar of this quality.

Hope this helps.
