RE: luthier 20 vs luthier 30 (in reply to keith)

Im reading my way through that Forum for quiet some time, since it seems to be the best place to get information about the flamencoguitar, thanks for all the great topics i appreciate it a lot. I grew up playing with nylon string guitars like everyone in my family, playing folk music pop and stuff like that, but started to learn flamenco guitar with graf martinez and other books about a decade ago. I didnt really think much about different strings and guitars, just used a cedartop classical guitar with blue Augustine strings, not a bad one though, but the opposite of what actually would sound flamenco. about 2 years ago the flamencofever hit me hard again, and i started to read a lot about guitar luthiers and everything, a lot in that forum too and decided to finally get myself a flamenco guitar. I tryed a lot of guitars in stores around where i live, even though most of them dont sell flamenco guitars but classical guitars only. I always used to play with cedar tops somehow out of family tradition, and was very delighted by the clear and brilliant sound of a spruce. After months of reading i went for a Camps Primera Negra that i thought to be the best for me considering my limited purse as a student and Quality/Price ratio. It came with Luthier 20 strings. And after getting used to the slightly narrower fretboard i fell in love with that sound and the easy playabilty. Suddendly the rasgueos sounded precise and with that certain punch that i could never produce with the mellow sustainrich soft cedar top classical i used to play. Now to the String topic. I got the guitar with Luthier 20 strings and the playability was great and easy. Of cause my next step was to find the right strings for me. I went for the Luthier 30 after a couple of months. First impression of the Lu30 was not satisfying. The trebbles sounded kind of numb and felt thicker and slippery compared to the Lu20. I didnt see much difference concerning the base strings. After a while i got used to the trebbles and maybe forgot a little bit as well how the guitar felt with the other strings. This week it happend that the D string broke and i decided to put on a set of luthier 20 again. instantly the guitar felt better. And the trebles sounded much richer especially in the high regions. The slightly thinner strings dont seem that slippery and more comfortable to play. I ordered now a set of daddario EJ45s pro arte so compare that strings as well. I put the laBella 820s on my cedar top but i found it didnt fit too well with tht classical guitar Ill give it a try on the Camps negra too. Ill let you guys know once i tryed them. greetings from austria :)
