I think London is okay for buying guitars, and there are a few shops specialising in acoustics around central London (eg. The Spanish Guitar Centre, etc.) however, Flamenco seems to be a minority interest, so the chances are that 9 out of 10 mainstream guitar shops won't have many Flamenco guitars in stock (if any). You'd be best trying a specialist centre like the one I mentioned. A lot of the time, shops will "order" your guitar, meaning that you won't get to try it on the spot without puting down an ordering deposit. Therefore, when ordering a guitar you should try and order the best you can afford. Personally, I would go for one of Anders' guitars... they have an excellent reputation, so you are less likely to get a dud one. If Simon has tried it and says its good, then thats another incentive. And there's no Import tax from items within the EU. As long as you use an insured courier service, I can't see any problems. Jb
