I have been playing a classical guitar for about 8 months. Prior to that I had been playing steelstring accoustic and electric. I was having problems with extreme wrist pain, and bought the classical just to be able to play due to the lower string tension. Love the Yamaha, wrist pain gone- but when I try my accoustic I feel it coming back. I just saw the [br]GA35 and the neck feels fanatastic to me. Narrower side to side but thicker the other way. I will be buying this for sure. In researching this type of cross over guitar, someone had said the strings can hit the fretting fingers when getting rambunctous. I am a beginner yet, love playing cool sounding chord progressions, learning easy songs, exploring sounds. Just googled Spanish chord progressions and having fun with those.

For me, I think the GA35 will be a great fit and the electric part may work better for the open mics I hope to get into. Good luck and keep at it!!
