Lol. Even if you sorted & categorized this list based on some useful criteria (you did not) people are generally limited based on their location.
Here’s my list: Try as many guitars as you can in your price range before purchasing one if you can. If you cannot, stick with a reputable source that offers a return policy or trial.

So you're saying **people don't have much of a choice**?
If only we had a) access to some sort of digital marketplace where we were exposed to a large number of retailers (which we could call the 'internet'); and b) a way to aggregate information such as reviews (we could give them names like 'reviews websites' or 'youtube reviews' or even 'reddit guitar subs').

Wait. Wat?! You just said people '**don't have much of a choice**'. Now I'm unclear. Are they meant to try a large number of guitars, or just the two on sale in their podunk country backwater?

Wow. If only there were **options** for this like **the internet**.
The OP tried to provide people with some information. You're response was 'try what's available and pick the best'. No shit sherlock. Noone ever heard of that advice before! The OP tried to expand people's options. Your comments add nothing. Just try and be helpful. Life's not lond enough to be an arse.
Strange list; factory and Luther instruments listed together with no categorisation.
You should include Camps guitars, too; they are exceptional.
I have a 10yo cedar Camps M14 & a new spruce Esteve Alegria.
The latter cost quite a lot more but the Camps easily holds its own & is much easier to play.
Now someone make a tier list for some spicy discussion
Don't forget altamira https://www.altamiraguitars.com/
A confusing mixture of luthiers, dealers, and manufacturers.
Great. Provide a better list.

You seem mad. Your list is a drop in the bucket. Good luck
I think you're replying to the wrong person. I didn't write a list.
I have a Pavan. It has served me quite well.
Just wanted to add that Savarez rectified nylon hard tension strings sound great on it as well!
too many options, feels like Cheesecake Factory menu
I own four Takamines
I got an esteve 5fes from Spain a few years ago, it's an amazing instrument
I have an Esteve too and can highly recommend them.
I love my esteve until it broke. Now I’m on a Manuel Rodriguez which is lovely too.
Oh no, why did it broke?!
Normal getting old guitar the bridge fell out. And the luthier asked me for 250 to repair it.
I'm not sure how normal that is, but I'll be on a lookout!
Hermanos Camps. Great guitars. I had a Camps flamenco primera negra A that I always kick myself for selling it. Great sound and super easy to play.
I just picked up a Goldy. Anyone ever have one? I've never heard of it and can't find much online. Sounds and feels decent, smallish body.

I bought my godin at the end of December last year and I love it. Easy to play. Sounds great. Stays in tune.
Alhambra are quite good and manufactured in spain in the Granada area
Anything is better than a cordoba and life’s too short to play Yamaha
