Definitely overpriced. I had an opportunity to try Antonio Rey's carillo blanca as I couldn't take my guitar for the Antonio's workshop in London about 3-4 years ago. He told us, he going to sell it for 5000 euro. To be honest even that blanca worth it about max. 2500 euro (to me). For 8350 euro I would go for example to Granada for 1-2 weeks ( sleeping in 5*hotel with full service :D ) as so many good luthiers available over there and not just there, ( probably not the top brand pop luthier names ) but as I've experienced the last few years... well I would go for a less "known" luthiers than any "pop" names as I've heard a lot of "made in valencia" stories. Im talking about real stories, not from internet woodoo mambo jumbo gossips. A friend of mine who has stopped selling flamenco guitars in London unfortunately, he used to sell very nice and top guitars bought straight away from luthiers and sold it with just un poco profit on it, as that was his passion and hobby. I was shocked when I heard how much profit some of the very popular names are putting on it however the origin of the guitars...very very questionable. I have a Victor Quintanilla Fernandez negra from Malaga, and an Andrew Smith blanca from Jerez. And yes, it was a topic about Andrew's guitars, I can confirm, Antonio Rey is one of the Andrew Smith guitar owner and just for compare: Andrew has 2 category 1700 euro and 2700 euro. And the sound ( very hard to find on internet) its amazing. Sorry for the long writing, but Im really mad if I see any kind of these overpriced nonsense.
