LBrandt -> Question about Rodriguez C3F flamenco guitar (Jun. 14 2011 22:52:21)
|
Hello, I'm still trying to decide on what flamenco guitar to buy. I have two classical guitars, but as I said in my previous post, I'd like to begin working with a flamenco guitar. Since I don't want to spend a lot of my first flamenco, I'm not ready to go to a luthier at this point. I had been hoping to compare the Yamaha CG171SF to the Yamaha CG172SF, but no one has a 171SF anymore, so I've decided that I'd like to compare the 172SF to the Rodriguez C3F. So my questions are as follows: Would any of you recommend the C3F over the 172SF? Does the fact that the C3F has sycamore back and sides mean that it's not as true a flamenco as the 172SF, which has cypress back and sides, or is sycamore just as good as cypress for a flamenco guitar? I've heard that the C3F does not come with a golpeador, but I really don't care about that at this time anyway. I'd appreciate any recommendations or advice that you can give me. Thanks, Louis
