bernd -> Interesting beginner guitar (Mar. 23 2014 10:27:30)
|
I have a student flamenco guitar here. It´s my son´s. This guitar comes from Siccas Guitars in Karlruhe (Germany). Besides of their collection of big names flamencas, they offer a quite low priced flamenca. Its company name is Duke, model Flamenco. It is available in the standard design a version with cutaway and pickup for stage use. My son´s is the standard design.
Some info
Scale, width at nut: 650/52 mm
Top: Solid spruce
Body: Laminated cypress
Fingerboard: Indian rosewood, very hard and polished surface
Frets: Fine polished alpaca (new silver)
Strings: Tomatito normal tension
12 hole tieblock
One thing that could be better is the action at bridge. It is above 11 mm. So if you know you won´t play i or m golpe above the E6 string or have a long nailplate of about 22 mm or more, then this is no problem.
I´m very impressed about this guitar. Strong tone with a crispy substancy, sharp bite and fast response. I would consider it around 800 to 900 €. Standard price is 470 €. They have reduced it to 390 € but for this whole sunday, they give an extra discount of 55 € off. So if you´re out to make a decission, I hope this info may be useful.
Coupon code for extra discount: TDNFLOUSCFCCQUYLCG67OCLQ

My son´s guitar has found a buyer. I´ll get a new one in the second half of april for a video review with some more info on this particular guitar. It will be in German but I think about English subtitles.
Saludos
Bernd
