Out of interest Kozz, how many guitars have you bought in two years of playing flamenco?
I guess it takes a bit of buying and selling to find a guitar you really want to keep.
Hi Sean,
Too many [:D]
I had no background at all in guitars, but fell inlove with flamenco after hearing La Paquera.
The day after I bought an Alhambra 3F. It was cheap, it had a tapplate, and I couldn't understand why people were spending that much money on guitars. It sounded completely ridiculous to me.
Three months llater or so, I bought an Juan Hernandez Profesor Flamenca. I liked that one, and modified it with a soundport. But becoming more familiar with sound and quality I did not like it anymore, and sold it.
Than I bought a Francisco Navarro Concert model, which I am very fond of, but than wanted something wich had a completely contrasted sound, so I bought the HSL F03.
Having played the FN Reyes model with pegs was amazing, and I wanted to trade in the F03 and go for the Reyes model.
In that period it started to become worse and worse with my back so I cancelled the Reyes order because there was no sence in spending more money while the forecast was that I am not able to play that much anymore.
But you're right, it takes a while to find a guitar you want to keep. And prpbably that changes over the years also.
Now I stick with the FN and the Alhambra for cutting and taking out to the beach.
It has been an expensive experience, but thats what it takes sometimes. I had a lot of fun searching and reading and learning about it and thats worth something to me too.
In the end it doesn't matter what guitar you have, you should be satisfied with it.
It also gave me another thing. I would never ever spent so much money on tuners (for the same reasons as buying really expensive guitars), but it has been worth the investment.
cheers
