The feeling and sound of a guitar

Hi all, Last weekend I visited a few stores in Madrid to try guitars. I wanted to share my experience here, and would like to hear yours I well :) I apologise in advance if some of the topics were discussed before, I did some search to find some relevant things. I have one Jose Ramirez blanca, and I was out trying some negras now. Personally, important things for me about one guitar is how it feels in my hands playing, and how does it sound. I tried some Ramirez guitars, they sound nice and in general I like how they feel in my hands. I also tried few Hermanos Conde in calle Atocha and my impression is that their sound is excellent, somehow I prefer it much more and for me they have quite "flamenco" sound; but I don't like how they feel in my hands in general. I don't know if these things are in my head and sounds like nonsense to you, so what is your experience? One thing for which I don't like mentioned aspect of HC might be because their neck is thicker in comparing to other ones that I like or the one that I have. Do you have similar experiences? What would be your opinion? I am thinking that maybe it is also just the habit. One thing I also noticed about HC is that although they are new, it looks like not much effort is put on details. I mean, there are some small scratches on the neck, or on the part where the strings go (near the whole, I don't know the term for this, maybe bridge?). All in all, some parts of the guitar look "old", so I don't know if I should expect everything to be nice and beautiful (on the other hand for a 4.500 guitar why not). One hand made Ramirez was absolutely beautiful in that way though. Cheers
