I sometimes make a 2A model, which is French polished that is cheaper. And others do so as well. What you should take into consideration is if you get the personalized experience that you get with a name luthier. This means talking about what you need, and a product made directly for you. Also, I can imagine, (But I might be wrong) that the Alhambra pro is been lacquered by the same people that lacquer the "normal" models. This means a sturdy but thick layer of plastic all over the guitar. Hi Anders – If you read my post you will see that I did not recommend the Alhambra Luthier Flamenca over any other luthier’s guitars. I merely tried to give the OP some information that he requested that he was having trouble finding. I sell the Alhambra Luthier Flamenca for a little over $3000, and I was comparing that price to the price of a typical 1A by a name luthier like yourself and others. I believe that price is “somewhat below what a fine luthier blanca might cost,” which is what I said. I fully agree with you about getting a personalized guitar to fit one’s needs and desires, and more than once I have dissuaded a buyer from buying a Luthier Flamenca if I felt it wouldn’t fit his needs, and I instead gave him a list of luthiers to consider, including you, without recommending any one over the other. P.S. “Who needs 20 frets for playing flamenco?” Beats the hell out of me. I sure don’t. Ramon
