Hi all,

My first post here. I just landed a gig in which I'm required to play some flamenco-esque rhythm and lead parts. For the first rehearsals I've loaned someone's Yamaha nylon-string el-ac ( I think it was an APX of some sort) and the results were kind of ok.

Now I've got to get a good electric-acoustic nylon string for myself. I've been looking so far at:
Prudencio Saez modelo 57
Yamaha CGX101A
Yamaha CGX171CCA
Yamaha NTX700
Takamine EG522SC
Cordoba GK studio

You can see that my budget for now is limited (gotta have a new car, new Macbook Pro etc).

The Prudencio Saez wasn't in store at the shop.
The Yamaha's I'd have to mail-order (not my favorite thing for guitars) and I've read some so-so reviews about the CGX171CCA.
The Takamine I've just tried out today and sounded and felt pretty good despite some minor flaws in the fretwork (sharp edges)
The Cordoba GK Studio I keep hearing rave reviews about but the only Cordoba that's available here in the Netherlands seems to be the Fusion 14.

I need a good acoustic sound for studio work and also a good live sound. The doesn't specifically have to be a flamenco model but I do need some crisp attack but also a little warmth in it.

Like I said the Tak didn't dissappoint but I would like to hear from the more experienced people how it compares to the GK studio or the NTX700.

Of course, I'm open for other options but this is what I've found so far.
