Juan Montes Rodriguez

Hello

Just as an intro from England started playing guitar age 12, Flamenco at 14 now 44

I had an old Jose Ramirez from 1975 that I played on but it's too knackered.

I just bought the Juan Montes Red Gum today, handmade in Valencia. I researched best Flamenco guitars under 1000 pound and preferred it to the Student Marlon Navarro's which are also handmade.

I wonder what people think the best Flamenco under £1000 is the F7 Paco sounded good I was interested in the Flametal Two for a while.

Anyway here's the guitar

The Juan Montes Red Gum arrived today (Handmade in Valencia)

I've decided to upload and share the first time I played it, thought the playthrough had a nice vibe there are a few mistakes however but I love the energy of this guitar
