RE: Hello forum! looking for opinio... (in reply to Tav)
My local shop in Hungary used to deal them and I managed to try three of them, one of them might have been this model. Quite cheap, entry level guitars, but they sound quite decent. They felt like sort of a crossover between a classical and flamenco which is not bad, they sound way better than a classical, but they do lack the bite of a real flamenco. If I recall correctly, they were priced between 4-600 euros. One of the three wasn't very good at all, the other two I'd say were better than the Yamaha or the others you mention.
