Hello guys , im new to the forum im about to get new flamenco guitar and im so confusing or i cannot choice between them , i have been saving money for along time as im student so its was a bit hard for me , this the first time im getting a good well-made guitar i always learn on a cheap guitars hard to play , much pressure to put on strings but yes that quite made my hand stronger and its time to get a well-made one and i almost will use it in recording .
alright , so now im searching a used guitar .
I found Alhambra 5F and 7fc , and cordoba f10 all of them quite good and very clean they are almost new guitars .
-I heard the alhambra 5f the sound was quite great sound and i really liked it but the thing is laminated back and side sycamore so im saying i would go for 4f its quite the same wood .
-Alhambra 7fc i really like it but the one i found i think its old model and i didnt like the sound of it but the seller says the strings very old so yea , i really like that guitar as its a full solid body thats what im looking for , but the sound didn't touch me i don't know . i see online most 7fc quite good .
-Cordoba F10 also full solid but i didn't tried it before , only the f7 i did tried which i didn't like , but i search online and heard the cordoba f10 i didn't feel it also but the guitar still in my list since its full body so there might people tried them and they have experience with them so i might didnt hear it quite clear .
- P. Saez 24 negra , i see online also i really like the sound of it , but one person told me that its a great guitar but the thing is the the neck fretboard can be bend during the time :l
-Cordoba GK studio used one which is very cheap and very clean so i might take it also as a second guitar , so what you think guys of this guitar also ??
So yeah i searched online alot and sometime i found full solid sounds nice and sometimes i found the laminated sycamore sound better so its all about how the record it i cant trust the sound online .
is it possible that the laminated back and side guitar which well-built sometimes be better than a solid full guitar
. i will be putting some photos of the alhambra guitars i found u might guys know which year the been made by looking at the photo .
So , i would love to hear from you guys to show me the right path :D and to have the best choice .
sorry for making it long :) .
Here is the used alhambra 7fc

Each one of those models has been discussed dozens of times before on this site - use the "Search" box in the upper right of this page ... You could have read all that by now instead of waiting days for a response, and any response you eventually get here will likely to be a repeat of what has been said many times in the past ...
