JazzmanJeff,
I was actually didn't know Gibson made anything classical back in the 60s until today. I've got this nasty little habit of checking Craigslist even when I know I shouldn't buy anything. I found one for $300 and am thinking about picking it up. The reviews I've read all agree that the sound is amazing. As far as your comment about not being a traditional guitar, I have read that the neck width at the nut is a little more narrow than typical. Like 2 mm more narrow, not a lot, but probably enough to feel a difference. I wonder if that's one of the things that intense classical players picked on.
I'm gonna go check it out tomorrow. For me what it really comes down to is does it play well and does it sound good, although the fact that it's a Gibson is enticing. I hope it sounds as good as the reviews say, although I am a little skeptical.
