I own the Classical, and it is absolutely fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough. The odd little tubes do a *perfect* job simulating the body of a real guitar. It feels exactly like my grand concert hall classical. They are extremely rugged. The sound is surprisingly good, too, though that is obviously a secondary consideration.

I would try to get a used one if I were you. There aren't any resonating cavities, so there really isn't anything to break or deteriorate.
