Hi: Honestly, I never cared for either Raimundo or Manuel Rodriguez... This may appear strange, but I don't care, I wish I had the help when I was starting. Luthier made is the way to go...for many reasons. There is a lutheir in Spain by name of Juan Montes Rodriguez whos instruments are available at a fine price. I wanted to research and get some info of course as I know nothing of this luthier, so I contacted a past buyer. He happened to be a serious player living in Australia. He just received a commissioned Flamenco from Ramirez and owns also a Conde and now this one by Rodriguez, with traditional pegs. He converted the pegs to 4-1 ratio as he found them difficult to tune. Standard machines, the model runs only around $1000 USD. He ships world wide.... The seller is very knowledgeable and nice. A private dealer out of Florida who travels to Spain to find unknown luthiers there to peddle abroad. Seems very honest and genuine. I would feel safe dealing with him. Have purchased from him in the past. Anyway, the guy in Australia says," it plays better than his Ramirez, especially at the price!!" He had nothing at all negative to say...nothing but praise. He compared it sound to his Conde, and said all materials used were very good. also as to the construction or imperfections when I asked he adi it was all really fine with no flaws to speak of. Some minor superficial imperfections, but nothing structural or in any way grave. anyway, the email address I have: oferna(at)comcast(dot)net The auction I was looking at was number: 320158815128 Try doing a search or contact him directly. I have absolutely no affiliation with this person and am simply trying to help. Perhaps I am bored...but I had a really good feeling about this guitar and thought I would offer some advice as I wish I had it when I was looking. I believe strongly in what goes around comes around. I liked the pegs myself... and would replace them with 4-1 ratio mechanical pegs. But that is me. The model with the machine tuners is less expensive. My .02cents...or is that 3 Anyway, Good luck!!

He also dables in luthiery too so he has a genuine passion for guitars and flamenco, not just a salesman as such. I dont know anything about this guitar in particular but as far as purchasing a guitar through Omar i would have 100% confidence in his integrity as a person. quote:
