Can somebody tell how goo it can be the very flamenco blanca student model in Francisco Navarro, comparing the other factories with their first models regarding their sound quality and woods?
Thank you in advance!!!

I had one of his student models (another member here currently owns it. I tried to talk him into selling it back to me, but he has fallen under its spell [:D]) and I adored it. Although I've tried many luthier made guitars, I have yet to own one so I'm not qualified to comment on them, but the Navarro student blanca is a canon. Yes all guitars are individually different of course, but even so, I feel very confident in saying that Mr. Navarro's apprentices are doing an absolutely fantastic job.

Highly recommended. I have kovachian's old student blanca (cedar top)..it's really fantastic. It might be on the better end of his student guitars...one of my students got a concert model (signed) which was similar in quality.

Here's an idea of how it sounds if you can get past the sloppy performance: it's the guitar I'm playing in the audio-only Bulerias in the second post (not in the video)

And that was recorded straight into a laptop, no other mic.

Today arrived my FN Concert Blanca.
I've cleaned the fretboard and restringed it.
Its again lighter as the previous one...definately smells better...
I already like the scale length better (650 instead of 660).
String hight is lower again and feels weird at the moment, probaly I have to re-adjust....

First some food, than some playing.
I'll let you know what I think about it.
