No PayPal - cash only. And you have to come and pick it up.

If London Bridge in Arizona was one of yours, I've been there and apart from a blue Thames, the weather and the sand, I would never have known I was not in London - 'cor blimey Mary Poppins

That usually is the term of who mistrusts the buyer.

Maybe because he couldn't stand the way it sounded?

Ricardo.

The actual label was "manuel Cano....made in spain". With a bogus web address. It was an early incarnation passed to a colleague by Prof Diaz. The colleague didn't want it cuz it sucked, but being an amateur luthier himself, he sanded the crap out of the braces and stuff inside, cut the top of the wacky head stock off and glued on a better one he made, and finally installed a piezo/mic combo. After his alterations (mainly the sanding internally) it sounded pretty decent for a free ugly guitar.

There are several foro members that have tried and own or owned the recent andalusians and probably an easy search find them. Off hand I remember mr. "Rumbaking" for one.

I played one about six months ago.... only for a couple of minutes. Don't know when it was made, can't remember much about it. Sounded a bit muddy and felt a bit sort of lumpy to play. Not exactly stiff, but not easy to play, sort of clunky. I would say don't pay more than about £500 for one of those.
