But, I am old school, I started playing classic guitar in 1974 when Segovia was considered to be the greatest player of all time, not classic guitarist had to play to a 5,000 seat plus hall and a guitar had a full palette of tonal colors, it wasn't just loud. 

My question to GFA member is this:  what do you look for in a guitar? Is it playability or is in the range of tone colors that it can produce?  I would like to know what it is.
