jesus de jimenez guitars

Hi,
I'm in need of a new guitar for around 2500euros and my friend bought a Jesus De Jimenez guitar for that price and said it was great. Can anyone give me some ideas? Maybe other luthiers.
I need a really easy to play guitar because of wrist issues and it's has to be be awesome in every way

Cheers

I have a Jesus de Jimenez blanca and its very nice.
Make sure to get good communication going and if you have wrist problems maybe carefully check the fretboard size because I think he does a few.

Feel free to PM me if you want any more info.

Cheers

Thanks for that. I'm sure his guitars are amazing. Does he speak good english? because my spanish is terrible.

No only spanish. I would find a spanish speaking friend to help you because I think good communication is important when buying a guitar.

Have you found him on Facebook ? There is a lot of his work up there.

I am sure there are many other nice guitars in your price range too, many good luthiers here.

Good luck

Cheers

I've been looking for his Facebook but there's quite a lot with the same name. My partner speaks spanish so i'll get her to help me out.
From what i've seen he's got some really nice guitars. Can't wait to try one/buy one.

What about an Anders Eliasson at 3000 €? His guitars are flamenco rockets

I touched a Jesus Jimenez, and their sound is very flamenco.
Bright, powerful, very neat wood.

Yo actualmente tengo dos guitarras de este constructor, una de cipres y otra de palosanto de rio y una tercera de coral que aun esta en construccion. Despues de mi experiencia durante 18 años como guitarrista aficionado y habiendo tenido un numero indeterminado de guitarras de diferentes luthieres.....me quedo con las que construye Jesus. En ellas encuentro una comodidad total, un sonido potente y tipico andaluz, ademas de un precio bastante contenido...ah! y sin olvidar una garantia y servicio postventa de por vida.....alguien ofrece mas?
PD: Si alguien quiere ver algun video de ellas, contesto por whatsapp.
