Oliver -> RE: First flamenco guitar in Europe (Feb. 29 2016 16:41:25)

My first flamenco guitar was a (Camps) Mundo Flamenco 2F and i still have it and like it. It is a good guitar for the start, i think. I bought it about two years ago from Johannes. I tested it "against" three different HSL 2F models, which were a little bit better (more "raspy", more flamenco) soundwise (i guess due to the cypress back and sides - the Camps has laminated maple), but the Mundo Flamenco 2F has a very comfortable low action and therefore easy playability. For me, this playability and the lower price became the argument to choose the Mundo Flamenco 2F over the HSL 2F. I also have a (very good) HSL 2F now, and when i play the Camps, i instantly notice the easy playability. For example: I can play a much faster picado on it, but it's not quite as loud as with the HSL 2F. So it would not be "the least bad one" to buy, because it's not bad at all. Of course i can only speak for the guitar i have, but the quality control is said to be good at Camps and especially at Mundo Flamenco. The craftsmanship is good, the playability is good, the sound is good and sweet too (depending a bit on the strings you use - mine works better with HT strings), but not as much flamenco as a guitar with cypress back and sides. I hope this might help a bit.
