I think the Yamaha CG171's are pretty damn good for the price. It'll be a good guitar to get your hands used to the flamenco set-up. Trust me, I've been there! I actually still play it from time to time. I love the way the bass strings sound. Very flamenco. Hi Shroomy 726, this makes me happy to know and with shipping and taxes I paid $247.00 for this older model....Can't go wrong with that at all, plus, if worst come to worst, I have a 30 day return policy [:D] quote:
Kalo, It sounds as though you made the right choice. I can tell you from personal experience that the better you get the more discerning your ear and hands will become. Hi Sig, thanks! I think you are right as well...I am still beginner on a lot of stages, but, intermediate in other things....So many palos I haven't cover... quote:
I played my Rodriguez C3F for about 4 years before I bought a better instrument. I understand the lure of a brand new handbuilt instrument but truth be told, the Yamaha will work just fine for now. Yes, a luthier built guitar will probably play easier and sound better, but its really the skill of the muscian that makes the biggest difference, not necessarily the instrument. I'll bet PDL could make that Yamaha really sing!! When the time comes to move up to a luthier grade instrument, the Yamaha will be easy to sell as someone is always looking for a low cost starter instrument. Good luck! That is awesome that you played your Rodriguez C3F guitar for 4 years before you bought a better istruments. And, of course PDL could make a cheap yamaha sing [;)] I am sure there are lot of advance players on the foro that can make Yamaha sing as well [:D] I will keep everyone posted and hopefully I can post some of my playing soon!
