tijeretamiel -> RE: Whom to buy guitar from in London? (Jul. 29 2013 21:10:17)

I've been in the same situation as the OP, and there are very few flamenco guitars in London. London Guitar Studio, do have a range of Flamenco Guitars from £400+, with the lower end of the region represented by Camps, Alhambra etc. There are some ok models but the £1000-£1500 range is a little underwhelming in some ways. They had a second hand Ricard Sanchis Carpio 2-0F which is one of the worst guitars I've ever played, it was like a plank of wood with rubber bands for strings. The only Bernal I've played was a second hand Prodigio in Wunjo, which again was a horrible, bright piece of crap. Both those guitars were eclipsed by a Yamaha Flamenco in Rose Morris. I'm sure there are great Bernal/RSC/HSL guitars but I imagine there are a few duds here and there which were probably the ones which I tried (try before you buy) which also had most likely suffered from being maintained very badly (the RSC in particular) clevblue, when did you get a negra from Blair? I went to his workshop and tried a few guitars, there was a negra which was very nice. It might have been the guitar which you bought! The blancas which he had there were great too.
