| | I don't care what people say, there's no way you can make me call this a classical guitar! Seems the Americans and Asians simply haven't grasped what a classical guitar is. With a few minor exceptions, the nylon-stringed guitars they make are heavily-built, dull-sounding instruments completely unsuitable for classical guitar playing.
That doesn't necessarily mean they are bad guitars. Some of them are really good folk-pickers! My Crafter isn't. It's got a plywood top, it's got a cutaway, and the little it has of acoustic tone can be summarized in one word: Plastic. (For the record: I got this for free - wouldn't have had it at all if I had to pay for it.) Its amplified sound isn't half-bad though:
Pickup alternativesThe whole idea with soundboard transducers and acoustic microphones is to capture more of the instrument's acoustic sound properties. In this particular case that is the last thing I want to do, so I'll stick to the bridge transducer the factory fitted it with.

I don't know what they put into that preamp! This guitar sound more natural amplified than acoustically. Okay, it's all fake, but it works!
