Please can anyone advise me??? I am in Spain March and looking to buy the ABF model from the Burguet factory in the Valencia region. The guitar is made especially to order, so I will not have the opportunity to try it before that date. If I decide it is not for me, where do I stand, will the luthier understand and accpet my decision or am I in some way morally obliged to buy the guitar because I have placed the order? I have heared nothing but good reports about this make and model. Has anyone had the opportunity to try one and if so, what was your verdict?
Sorry for the late reply, missed your post somewhere, I have owned an ABF, very nice to play, very easy to play too. Good flamenco sound, and it looked teriffic. The only thing for me, that was negative was, that the guitar "bottoms out " (for my playing stile anyway) too soon.
It ment for me, that I had to play softer than that was usual for me, Normaly I want a guitar where I can "play"with the buzzing, but in this case it buzzes too soon.
This is very personal, I play a lot live in a crowded restaurant, so I am used to play hard.
Amalio Burguet is a very nice guy ( spoke to him several ocasions over the phone) He sure will understand if the guitar is not what you are looking for.
Hope my post is still a bit useful for you, sorry once more for the late reply.
