The CG-TA NT is a solid choice for students and gigging players wanting amplified classical tone. The Transacoustic system is a genuine convenience, and the Engelmann top delivers a surprisingly rich sound for its class. It's a well-built, versatile instrument that strikes a nice balance between affordability and quality.
