That rodrigo guitar wont sound like a real flamenco guitar, not even like a yamaha flamenco guitar. And it is more suitable for pic. Also you need a tap plate for flamenco guitars for the Golpes. And i bet the action and setup isn't that good too and isn't suitable for flamenco. If i were you (and if i were really interested at least in some kind of real flamenco guitar music and the typical sound of a flamenco guitar), i would simply buy a yamaha CG171SF flamenco guitar online for $300 shipped to you. Like this one currently available at ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-CG172SF-Flamenco-Guitar-w-hard-case-MINT-condition-played-under-20-hrs-/141116340229?pt=Guitar&hash=item20db307805 If you should see flamenco is not the right thing for you, you can still play other things on it or you could easily resell it on ebay for around $250 or (or even for the same price you bought it. Of course, prepare yourself to get "dissapointed" a bit at the beginning, since you can't play anything. Everything will seam hard to play, etc. Specially flamenco techniques need a lot of time and practice. But with enough passion and hard work, you will eventually make the guitar sound good and have a lot of joy and fun. Also buy a simple cheap Dunlop Capo, you will need it in flamenco. (you could even start with capo on second fret or something, will make it easier for your hands) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dunlop-Toggle-6-String-Professional-Guitar-Capo-for-Flat-Fingerboards-14F-/161120950878?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item25838e9a5e
