GailP -> What would you do? (Nov. 15 2005 23:01:42)
I have up to $5,000 to buy a flamenco guitar. If this was your first and only flamenco you could buy - what would you buy (and why would you buy it) if you could spend my money? Would you buy new or used? Which make, year and model? What would your thought process be in making a good decision? [sm=Smiley Guitar.gif]

ToddK -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 15 2005 23:36:25)
Aaron Green

GailP, that is very subjective, but if youre asking for that: Vicente Carillo. Why? Have you ever heard a Vicente Carillo [:)] ? Others pay attention to the design or look of a guitar; i try to completely concentrate on the sound.

Patrick -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 16 2005 5:11:14)
Like Todd said. An Aaron Green for five grand and about a year to get it, or add about 800 more and three years for a Lester DeVoe.

Patrick -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 16 2005 5:16:40)
When you get into that price range, don't think in terms of "make, year, and model". Think in terms of hand made to your specifications. If you are in the US, think US due to the dollar getting hammered. Spanish built guitars will be 20 to 30 percent more, just because of the exchange rate.

Ricardo -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 16 2005 13:39:50)
A used conde hermanos blanca A26 from the 90's, previously owned and used by a professional. Not easy to find but that is what I would do with my only shot. Ricardo

Miguel de Maria -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 16 2005 14:03:51)
Sorry, I don't recommend a Vicente Carillo for that price range. I had a blanca and it was a good deal for $2000 but not $5000 imo.

Guest -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 16 2005 15:40:45)
If you are in USA, order a DeVoe. In Europe order a Jose Romero. Sean

cloevvv -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 17 2005 17:22:13)
how about a Shelton-Faretta? I have one, and it still smells great, like a trampoline. Anyone else play one or have an opinion? portland, oregon.

cloevvv -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 17 2005 18:03:25)
INDEED, WHAT DOES A TRAMPOLINE SMELL LIKE? I COULD SAY IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE KNEES HAVE BEEN BOUNCING ON IT BUT, WHAT I MEANT WAS THAT AFTER A YEAR, WHICH I REALIZE IS A VERY SHORT TIME, IT RETAINS THE CHARACTER THAT ORIGINALLY ATTRACTED ME TO IT, AND ALSO, ONE'S GOLPES' HAVE AN ADDED RESONANCE LIKE A NYMPH DIVING INTO A FROG POOL.

Francisco -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 21 2005 2:13:54)
I'd buy an Anders Elliason blanca made exactly to my specs, then use the leftover cash to fly over to spain to pick it up, and maybe stay a little while.

duende -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 21 2005 4:52:22)
Samwise. I think i would follow your idea. 5000$ is about 50.000 swe KR a flamenco guitar would give me about 20-30 thousand left after the buy. And for that i could stay in spain for 6 month.[:D][:D][:D]

Francisco -> RE: What would you do? (Nov. 21 2005 9:41:24)
6 months sounds awesome! I could handle that! Learn Spanish reall good in that time, I could (Yoda voice).
