Need advice on flamenco without golp...

Hello,

I'd like to have a reasonably priced flamenco blanca (spruce top, cyrpus back) without a golpeador. I have several classical guitars, and I want the low sustain and low action of a flamenco for occasional use. I don't intend to need a tap plate, so with all due respect, I would prefer not to get into a discussion of why I ought to have a golpeador.

Can you recommend one for me? I don't want to go the luthier route, just a good factory model.

Thanks,
Louis

Vicente Sanchis flamencos very often are retailed without golpeadors.

Cheers,

Bill

Thanks. I've never heard of Sanchis guitars, so I need to add that it should be a flamenco guitar that I might be able to find at a retail store or at least be able to order one online.
