I play piano at the upper intermediate level. I want to start classical guitar. Im going to have to with finger picks cause piano makes me keep my nails short. However, what guitar should I get? Considering I read music and shit should I skip the Yamaha c40 or Corboda c1 and go for something intermediate? I tried electric guitar a long time ago but could never get into it because rock music is gay as fuck, but I really like the way classical guitar sounds and it seems a lot more technical anyways. Any input is appreciated
i play electric guitar but know nothing about classic ones, best advice i can give you is to ask in the guitar thread on /mu/.

Doesn't really matter. You could play jazz on electric, obviously. Classical guitar generally has a balanced tone with not much top end. The strings are further apart to allow easier chording. You will not build very heavy calluses or finger strength on it so if someone asks you if you want to play a dreadnought you will be physically unable to do so.
Why don't you buy a cheap parlor size jazz acoustic to play gypsy jazz on so that you actually build finger strength and a cheap classical for your finger picking.

I've had several guitars, one of them a cheap classical guitar. It was my least favorite, but that's only because of the high action.
When you go looking play around with each one you're considering and don't get one whose strings are far away from the fret board. Other than that just talk to the guitar guys and get their input on what might make one better than the other.
Have fun, classical guitars sound beautiful.

Something you can afford. Shit is expensive yo.

I like high action with heavy strings. Seperates the men from the boys and makes one more deliberate in phrasing.
