Looking for Francisco Navarro Studen...

Hi everybody,

since prices for FN guitars seem to have lowered to an attractive level (I guess they were always attractive) I am planing on buying a student model, since this will be my first flamenco guitar (instead of always borrowing ones from others

).

Before ordering I wanted to check on the foro if anybody is interested in selling his/her FN-estudio. This might also solve custom buerocracy (incl. toll) since I live in Germany and would have to pay steep 20% on an imported new one.

Hope to hear from some of you.
ElFlaco.

Hello ElFlaco,

I should have posted a similar post before buying my own Francisco Navarro. There are two reputable dealers of Francisco Navarro guitars on the forum. You can try visiting

1) Ron Hudson's page at http://www.francisconavarro

or

2) Tom Nunez's page at http://www.lafalseta.com

A student flamenco will run you about $900 on their website unless you opt for the flamenco - 2 model which is $100 more.

If you're willing to take a little risk, there's a francisco navarro negra for sale on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/Francisco-Navarro-Flamenco-Negra-Guitar-/350382592321?pt=Guitar&hash=item51946e1141 for $650! That's a steal. I'm not sure if it's a student model though, the seller did not specify.

Thanks VietFlamenco,

I thought Ron Hudson might be behind the e-Bay sale... . The problem for me is that if I buy a new one at that price (which is very good I assume), I will have to pay the 20% import tax (applied to items bought at more than € 430,--). That is why I am looking for either someone in Europe willing to sell or somebody from outside Europe willing to sell a USED FN at around $500.

ElFlaco.

It is funny! I can´t say that I checked Forum-Names before registering. However, I can still make you my role-model

... .
Might change may name though (there can only be one flaco...).

Nice

You don't have to change your name. In the world, flacos are a dime a dozen.

Or. another idea, there are also many pacos. PDL, paco pena, etc.

So I guess flaco will be the next Paco,
