Just started taking lessons for classical and flamenco guitar and my instructor suggested I get a guitar for that type of music. Right now I just have my Martin steal string guitar. Problem is I don't really know what to look for, which ones are good/popular, or how much I should look to spend. I want it to be able to last forever, so I know it'll be an investment.

Any suggestions? I went to guitar center and the guy there told me that Rodriguez and Ramirez guitars were some of the best. He also told me that I should look to spend at least $1,000-$1,500 for one :( My guitar teacher told me about one made by Yamaha. He said the 151f or 171f flamenco guitar, but I couldn't find any by that name. Only a cgx171sfc or something like that. Those go for about $550 at Guitar Center.
