For the guitarist who loves the sound of nylon strings but isn't crazy about the feel of the traditional wide neck classical acoustic electric, this is the thinline for you. You can find an affordable, used but quality-made, Ibanez in the following models: GA3, GA5, GA6CE, and GA5TCE. Most have a spruce top with a mahogany neck, back and sides. The classic cutaway body is finished in a high gloss.

The nylon strings of a GA guitar are especially appealing to beginning guitarists because they aren't as hard on the fingers as steel strings. Unlike other beginner classical guitars which are too flimsy to be considered a solid investment, GA3 acoustic guitars are built to offer the sound and superior playability of an authentic classical guitar.

While many aspiring musician today just want to rock out, there are still plenty of musicians who are drawn to the classical elegance of Ibanez GA acoustic guitars. For these musicians gently strumming a GA guitar create a personal more intimate performance than using another type of guitar. You can choose to express yourself through a traditional GA classical model or take advantage of the cutaway versions which offer better upper-fret access.
