LBrandt -> Need advice on flamenco guitar (Feb. 7 2012 1:51:33)
|
Hello,
I’ve posted a couple of questions about flamenco guitars before, but this one is different. I have several classical guitars, and although I am by no means a flamenco guitarist, I do want a flamenco guitar for the difference in sound. I want a blanca, which should have spruce top and cypress back and sides.
My budget for this should be no more than $1000 to $2000 and less if possible for a quality guitar. I do not want to go either the luthier route or the used route.
I am somewhat partial to the Cordoba line of guitars, and as far as I can tell, the flamenco guitars in their lines are: the Cordoba F10, the Loriente Carmen and the Solista Flamenca.
I have also heard good things about the much less expensive Yamaha CG172SF.
I would appreciate any recommendations that you can give me on the above four guitars. Obviously, the Yamaha is much cheaper than the others, but I want the best sound, not the cheapest. Of course, if you tell me that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the sound of the Yamaha and the others, I’d go for the Yamaha.
Thanks,
Louis
