my first spanish guitar

since i started studying flamenco music about 4 months ago, i have been playing on an 80 dollar valencia that i lowered the bridge on,

i have been looking for a decent entry level guitar, and i bought an alhambra 3f

i have lowered the action a bit, i think it still wants to come down a bit more, but im going to play it for a week first and get some opinions on how far to take it. the holes that the strings go through, are very low and close to the body, so it could be taken almost to the bottom of the bone i believe (if necessary)

i really like the feel and tone of this guitar, i personally enjoy it over a bunch of entry level guitars i have tried,

i want to make more progress before i upload here again, so i am going to ask my friend to record something with this guitar so you can hear it
