Well, there are a handful of points that need more explanation or clarification. For one, there was no real mention of the difference between a conventional steel string guitar and a classical (nylon) stringed guitar. Of course, the string material is the major difference — but also, an understanding of what that actually means or implies to the shopper is important. The main difference is classical guitars have MUCH LESS STRING TENSION than their steel string counterparts. To quantify, it is something like 160lbs for steel string set and approx 90lbs for a nylon set — assuming standard scale length and tuned up to 440 concert pitch in standard tuning.
A correctly built classical guitar needs no truss rod. A truss rod is used to adjust the relief (deflection — 'curvature') in the neck. Classical guitars have been built for 150 years using necks are unadjustable and perfectly straight — and, normally, that works just fine. String height adjustments are done by modifying the saddle.
In order of consideration, for a new player trying to seriously learn classical guitar, these considerations are most important and in this order: 1) playability and ergonomics — does the size of the instrument match the physique and size of the player (fractional sized guitars ARE available, but no mention was made to them in the video), and, 2). sound — is the guitar an efficient producer of sound — or, putting it most crudely: is it LOUD? You don't want learners struggling to get the guitar to sound and resonate. Too much effort in plucking notes is not a good precursor for learning proper technique. Here is a good simple test anyone can use to judge and compare the sound of a classical guitar: with the guitar free-standing, pluck the high E string (the 'smallest' unwound one). If it is loud and rings a long time that is a good quality. Then, compare that against other guitars in the same way. A high E string that rings loud and long is generally a very good thing.
Lastly, appearance. Yes, I realize it matters as people listen with the eyes as they say. In reality, musicians realize that the presentation of the instrument is a far secondary concern. How it plays and sounds are the factors which really matter the most.

The cameraman who made this video does not understand the difference between a Classical Guitar and an Acoustic guitar. This severely reduces the credibility of this video!!

The Thomann Classic 4/4 S is all solid in a standard full size Torres style braced top (spruce over maple back/sides). It has synthetic bone and saddle (easily upgraded to bone, especially the saddle). Less than 200US (+shipping). It's bare bones, but solidly built and can punch way above it's price . For the discriminating player, take it to a luthier and have it setup properly.
