Rodriguez FF model. Good value? I play one at Guitar Center every time I'm there just to see if I like a blanca. I do like it, and keep thinking about buying it. Right now I only have classical guitars and I have one Id probably trade in (a Dauphin DS45) to finally get a flamenco guitar. They are asking $900. As far as other store's prices, GC is offering the cheapest. But Im not sure that instrument is worth it or not. Is this a good value? Hi Chiste: In my experience the quality of Manuel Rodriguez’ guitars has degenerated to the present product which is absolutely not worth the retail dollar value. I had a couple of them and recently tried their latest production both in NY and SF (Guitar Center). On the other hand, I have played, enjoyed and recommended Francisco Navarro, made in Mexico. Its student model blanca is much of a true flamenco at the same price. You may need to wait for a couple of months for the instrument to be built, but for the same $900 and the instrument you will have, it is worth the wait. See “student model 1” at http://www.lafalseta.com/navarro_flamencos.html Tom Nunez, who runs la Falseta on line store, and an active member on this Forum, is a knowledgeable musician and the nicest gentleman you could find in this often tricky trade. I hope this helps and good luck. gj
