I know they have nylons that are way better then my Takamine but this is personally the best one I've had, or need. It's made in Japan, has a programmable preamp with a really nice sounding built in reverb and tuner. Plays super easy. The body is slightly smaller then most and less boomy. For the few hundred these go for used, the sound and quality is hard to beat. This for me is definately a keeper guitar.

This is a 65 PRRI with 2 differences. 1. The 12" Jensen which makes it sound a little bigger and warmer. 2. The Brown Western Tolex which (to me) makes it one of the most beautiful amps ever made. These are 12 watts like any other 65 PRRI and have a beautiful sounding reverb and tremolo. With a PRRI, a handful of pedals (or not) you have one handy easy to carry small amp that's big enough for a small church/club and can easily be miked up for bigger venues (depending on stage volume). I use this PRRI most of the time for playing old rock (think surf or 50s rock), old country, jazz, really music from the 40s to 70s. It does just fine. For 70s country for example, I'll add a phaser and compressor and it's there. For surf, crank up the treble and volume to the edge of breakup. Lots of reverb. Beautiful. I grew up using Princetons and the newer stuff sounds as good as my old amps even if they're not hand wired.
