A nylon string guitar that plays like a classical, but feels like an acoustic is the Alvarez Artist AC65HCE Classical Acoustic/Electric Guitar. The "H" stands for hybrid. It features a solid western red cedar top, and a mahogany back, and sides. Western Red Cedar is widely used when building Classical guitars for adding warm, rich tones. Mahogany adds warmth, and depth. Together they create a stunning Alvarez creation. Additionally, the Rosewood fretboard enhances your finger movements between each fret. Stun your audience on stage with its electronics that include the built in B-Band SYS550 Equalizer/Pickup/Digital Chromatic tuner system. I have played with this Classical fascination myself, and It sounds perfectly amazing all by itself, but I noticed that the amp only improves the sound. So this would be a more than satisfying guitar for anyone who wants an instrument that can shine plugged in, or not. The new award winning Artist Series guitars project open, and warm tones. You can expect nothing less from Alvarez who has been successful at tending to the needs of musicians for 50 years since 1965.
