I am considering my options to buy a guitar within this price range (probably new). Since I won't be able to try first, I would like your opinions on these, not only in regard to sound (tight "weak" bass, throaty mids, bright) but specially to neck shape.
I don't like round necks, it feels like my thumb is fighting to stay in place. I prefer square-ish necks (D shape?).
Here's the list I have at the moment:
- HSL Solea - Valeriano Bernal Prodigio/P. Especial - Juan Montes (the red blanca) - Vicente Carrillo estudio 2016
Also Prudencio Saez, Camps...feel free to add options and comment on the necks:)

RE: Guitar necks 1000 - 1500€ (in reply to Sr. Martins)
I do not have any of the guitars you mentioned, however I have two new guitars (still have the factory ticket) that I am willing to part with them. At the end of last year I told my family that I was going to start learning flamenco and I will need a new guitar (different from the classical ones I have). Unknown to me, my wife and son, each, decided to get me a guitar. Unfortunately, I told them of my decision after I had already acquired a Conde guitar.
As a result, I have two new guitars; a Manuel Rodriguez FF-Savicas, and a Cordoba 55FCE Negra thin body Limited Edition. Please let me know if you like to see any of these two instruments. Both are in the price range that you have. Because I have several other string instruments in the house, I installed a humidity control system in the house, thus ensuring the instruments do not suffer any weather damage.
