1980s Carlos Model No. 226 Classical Guitar

Vintage classical guitar, perfect example of why one should never judge a book by it's cover


Carlos guitars are another brand that has a cult following in the collector's market, as you'll come to find in the days ahead here at SCGM. This particular model is not one of the high-quality copies that collectors covet, the difference being the way the word Carlos is designed on the label inside the sound hole.

This is still a very nice guitar though, sounds and plays like a mid-level Yamaha. Like the Ibanez acoustic that was featured earlier this week, you can find these all over the internet, ranging from $50 to over $200.

  1. My parents got me one of these when I was in high school, back in the 1980's. I still have it, too!
