From electric to acoustic to flamenco

Buenos dias, que tal? Hi everyone. May I first introduce myself.. My name is Victor, I come from a spanish family where flamenco has always been part of how we were raised, with castañuelas around the house and what not. (but currently live in NJ) Even my sister is a semi-professional flamenco dancer. I have been playing guitar since I was 13, currently 28. Started off with electric guitar, since that was what I liked at the moment. Lately all I play is acoustic guitar. I've got a nice collection of acoustics and electrics. Recently I have been very interested in Flamenco. I am very sure these kind of questions I am about to ask have been asked many, many times ( I have membership in other guitar forums so I know how it is ) but I am sure the forum will point me in the right direction and won't mind my ignorance. My questions are as follow: What flamenco guitars, either from luthier or manufacturer, are good & would recommend for people who are serious about flamenco? Budget between $2,000-$4,000, may consider anything above that, but would like to stay within that range. Any flamenco guitar online sites here in the US or that ship to the US? Hermanos Sanchis vs Hermanos Camps vs Jose Ramirez vs Cordoba vs Manuel Rodriguez? What, which and why would you recommend one is better than the other, etc..?? Again, please excuse my ignorance. Thank you Me despido y gracias, Victor

Will definitely do, have been doing my research.. Funny, I usually type this kind of answers to replies like my question in other forums. I just wanted some kind of orientation as to what guitars stand up to their names.. In the electric guitar world there is fender, fender custom shop, gibson, PRS, Suhr... In acoustic guitars there's always the 'Martin' everyone respects, Taylor, Collings, etc.. Wanted to get an idea of which flamenco guitars have a good reputation and the ones to avoid.. Besides, this is what a forum is all about, people who are eager to help, acknowledge, recommend and provide opinions vs rebuttals. But thanks, I'll keep doing my research. Will appreciate any answers! Ciao
