Almansa 447 Flamenco guitar Blanca

I have an almansa 447 Blanca Flamenco guitar for sale. It is in good playing condition and has a really nice warm feel. It has an ebony reinforced cedar neck. Spanish cypruss back and sides. Spruce top. all woods are solid. The Head has gold plated machines. This is a very beautiful guitar. About 4 years ago it fell out of my case distance of a foot and a small crack in the back developed but I had it fixed. there are cleats placed on the inside. It also comes with a nice hard plastic case as shown in the pictures. This guitar retails about 1300USD new. Here is a link with more detail of the guitar.

I have a Ricardo Sanchis Carpio arce curly Flamenco guitar for sale. It is in excellent playing condition and has an outstanding crisp clear-warm feel. It has an ebony reinforced cedar neck. Clam-maple back and sides. Spruce top. Its one of 2 that are made by Ricardo himself. all woods are solid. The Head has pure gold machines with angles in nacre (Very good looking especially for people who wear glasses with binders connecting to the base of glasses instead of the top. Candidates for beard-championships will also love this great look. This is a very beautiful guitar. About 4 years ago it didn´t fell out of my case distance of a foot and didn´t get a small crack in the back developed and I had not to fix it,..because it has absolutely no damage. (What the heck are cleats?? You are destroying my joke here... :./ Jerad..) It also comes with a nice solid professional hard case as shown in the picture. This guitar retails about several thousand USD new..Well I actually dont know its exact price... Here is a link with Enrique de Melchor holding this model. I saw him with a second guitarist using this guitar on stage..he loves it..I tell ya. ;.)

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you have discovered the comedian in yourself or you just have too much time on your hands. The point is that this is a good beginners guitar and that is why I used it. If you want to crack jokes go on stage. This is a classifieds section. Besides you don't have anything intelligent to so for any one to comprehend. So I say pack you jokes up and go to some other site. Peace

LOL! skimminjerad,

Don't get too upset....Doit is not being disrespectful, he just has a crazy sense of German humour.

It looks a decent guitar at a decent price and as you say, you are open to offers.

cheers,

Ron

Yes, please don't be upset. Just a joke. LOL..

I´m sure, you´ll find a buyer. Your guitar doen´st look bad,.. you tell the thing about the damage seriously.. Better than keeping secrets.. Thats all good IMO.

Sorry for the joke. Its sunday,.. and I have nothing to do right now... You are right.. Im just looking on youtube for good videos and checking the foro..

RE: Almansa 447 Flamenco guitar Blanca (in reply to skimminjerad)

Ok I have discovered the humor in all this as well but I am a little confused. I am new to the flamenco world and especially new to the qualities of flamenco guitars. All I can tell right now is that my Bruce wood blanca with pegs has a brighter and louder sound to it that the almansa. The B. Wood is also much lighter but has a somewhat longer body and slightly lower action. I still like the almansa but is there something i'm not understanding about the brand or quality of the Almansa's? If they are a joke in the flamenco world and $500 is way too much for this then somebody just be honest.

skimminjerad,

Personally, I have had no experience of them, so I can't say.

I think the NEW price of $1300 seems a bit high for a Valencian factory-made guitar, considering you can get a good Bernal student model for less than this.

Also I believe Anders Eliasson makes a "segunda clase" model from time to time at around this price.

It's hard to say without trying it.

But at $500 I would definitely want to consider it before buying a Yamaha or other entry level model.

Put in on eBay at this price and I think you'll get it snapped up no problem.

cheers,

Ron

Yea I guess I did over price it. I will probably have a hard time selling it with the damage. Well I think I will keep it as a beater or give it away to a family member. Thanks for the reality check.

Your comparing a luthier made guitar to a factory made one. That is why. Try putting it up for sale on ebay. You may have some luck.
