El Kiko -> RE: prejudice against U.S. made guitars? (Mar. 22 2015 15:09:17)

there are many here on the foro that have a Yamaha flamenco ...i am one .. and all speak good of them ..for the price range ... i can see the attraction of being a purist in some way, to have an 'authentic ' Spanish guitar .. made in Spain .. from Spanish wood . grown in Spain by a well known and respected luthier .. in Andalucia ... but like in another post i was just writing in .. times are changing and the world is much more connected now ... I still have a guitar i got from Manuel Reyes .. but really my dream is one day get a Glen Cannin guitar ...USA.. i just heard so much about them .. and like what i hear .. This also reminds me of those who want flamencos with wooden pegs ... even though the later inventions mean you dont need to ... traditionalists ... I think it will take time for things to change ,, but i see that things are changing anyway ... many great players use guitars that come from other countries .. greece for example ... I dont think there is anything against USA guitars alone ... its just .. .non Spanish Vs the rest of the world...perhaps ... .I also remember a thing once ,, in reverse , about having , here in Europe , a USA fender ..the real deal, or a one made in another country .. like japan ... some more purists had their say and others, more practical had theres... its a... how do you feel about it thing ....
