Wait, you got a guitar? Previous post mentioned seeing two blue guitars, I missed the bit about carrying one home in your sticky paws, yay guitars!
Names often come after you've been playing and cuddling for a bit, so don't rush it. Oh and guitarnoise.com is a very nifty starting point for things...
Part of why I was poking in that shop was the number of guitars it had around, but I didn't get it there -- I got it the next day, downtown. Yay guitar.
I'll have a look at your link. Yay links too. :)
... the cat is sitting on my solo guitar instruction book. Hah.
As a self-taught guitarist I know lots of nifty links and ideas, also can geek on matters guitary for eternity so am happy to answer questions if required :)
Fairly standard classical guitar design, symmetrical, Alvarez is the manufacturer; beige front, rich red-brown neck and back. Extremely shiny with the lacquer. Something that looks kind of like mother-of-pearl or abalone as a thin ring on the rosette.
I shall also be largely self-taught, I imagine, so any pointers you might have for good ways of going about the self-teaching will be good. I am starting from a reasonably competent grounding -- I read music fairly fluently, though I can't hear it straight from the page; I have formal training in three instruments (piano, voice, flute). No prior experience with strings.
I tuned her properly straight off aside from the weirdness of tuning the second string off the fourth fret -- set the sixth string to my electric keyboard, tuned her relative, and the top string (after I corrected the second string) matched the keyboard note it should. I was pleased.

*And* I know someone who owns a guitar shop... doomed, I tell you, just not right now. :)
