A few other comments: Just like the video of my actual guitar (link in the previous post), and as well with Galvez's guitar, Vargas has achieved, IMO, and impressive relationship between the sound and the action/neck angle. What I hear in all the samples, is that there is a certain buzz-iness that sounds muy flamenco. That crispy dirty sound, but the neck angle on my guitar is perfect, the action is perfect, and the saddle has plenty of room to lower, and there's plenty of break angle. So in other words, it's like it sounds like it has very low action, and the buzz is a result of that, but in reality, the action isn't especially low, (though it certainly doesn't feel high, nor does it feel anything other than optimal), and it has a desirable sound that is hard to explain when you look at the set up. My only less-than-glowing commentary is that in pictures, my guitar looks like it has a mellow orange finish that I personally love. Not crazy parking cone orange , but rather mellow. But when it arrived, it looked a bit different. It almost has a shade of pink somehow mixed in. Almost coral in color. But in certain light, looks nothing but straight up orange. I've never seen a guitar quite like it. I'll try and upload pics..
