RE: Anyone played a Antonio Aparicio... (in reply to zenin)
I played several Aparicio guitars down at Luthier Music in Manhattan, looking for some of my students, but I don't remember which models I played. I do remember not being overly impressed, and I remember that the necks – at least on the models I played – were thick and square, as it seems are many of the other guitars from Valencia, and uncomfortable on your left thumb. I have found Cordoba guitars to be superior for students, and they make a model – 45FM flamenco guitar for about $100 less than that Aparicio. You might check that one out. It also comes in 45FP, with traditional pegs instead of machine tuners. I haven't played these, but as I said, I feel that Cordoba guitars are very good for that category.
