Outside of big cities in the US finding a Flamenco guitar seller is somewhat difficult what do you guys think are some of the better websites out there for good quality and price?
Personally, I think Guitarsalon.com and classicalguitarshop.com are pretty good
I'm in the UK, so have never dealt with him personally, but he's been on this Forum and Flamenco-Teacher for over 5 years and I've heard nothing but praise for his expertise and personal service to meet a particular budget and requirements.
He is (as well as a guitar dealer) a great guitar enthusiast and is into Flamenco guitar construction as a hobby.
For the unlimited and fat wallet, Rudy or "El Kabong"(of the Frozen Tundra) has a number of select and delicious guitars which he trades from time to time.
Again, no complaints I've ever heard of in all my years here.
RE: Best US Flamenco Guitar distributer (in reply to Djreisat)
I bought two guitars from Tom at LaFalseta and had no troubles either time. A good friend has bought guitars from guitarsalon.com and had similar experience (troublefree).

La Falseta sounds good but I have never dealt with Tom. I have been to the house and met the guy who runs zavaleta's, http://www.zavaletas-guitarras.com/ He sells fairly high end (expensive) guitars and only sells nylon to my knowledge. He has a good selection of very good flamenco guitars for sale as well as classical. He also has a collection of amazing guitars that aren't listed for sale but you can see them on his website. He is a very nice guy and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a guitar from him if I decided I wanted one of the ones he has.

99% of it really comes down to who happens to have the guitar you want. Of the named dealers I think they will all treat you well. It's a lot easier to buy a guitar from somebody who has the guitar you want, than to buy from somebody who does not.
