Cheston, Good luck with finding that new guitar! My new Yamaha is due in a couple of weeks. The yamaha generally has a good reputation with Flamenco guitarists, and as I am new to Flamenco, it seemed a suitable "first Flamenco guitar". Personally, I would have prefered a real Spanish guitar, but my budget didn't seem to stretch to a good one. I did want a Rodriguez (one of the most famous names in luthiery), and am still considering getting one just for variation, but perhaps one of their cheaper models (as long as it plays well!). If you can find a Rodriguez within your price range that you like the sound of, I'd go for it. Especially if you're not keen on the competition. Ultimately though, as other members have said, each guitar is different, and one Rodriguez might be good and another bad, or one Yamaha good and another bad. You have the right idea- it's always best to try before you buy. I would have done so had the option been available. So just keep trying out different guitars until you find the *perfect* one for you- it may be a Rodriguez, or even a Yamaha. I think finding the most suitable guitar is more important than whether it holds its value, as if it is that good, you may never want to sell it! [:D]
