FAN FRETTED FLAMENCO

I suppose it was just a matter of time for this. A new offerring by Vicente Carrillo.

Any opinions?

The fanned angles are nowhere nearly as dramatic as on most steel string guitars. I like it, it subtle enough to presumably give the benefits of a fanned scale while not straying too far from the traditional look.

why doesnt it already come in a hard case, I would think any guitar worth 4k should come with a hard case not a gig bag

Exactly what I thought when i looked at the offer.

Can any luthier confirm there are advantages to the fanned thingy?

If it's better, why isn't every one doing it? Do you need to be a builder for 30 years to level up and do something like this?.
