vardeminer -> RE: Flamenco Guitar in Costa Rica (Jul. 4 2017 20:23:44)

Hi to all. It's been a while since I post here, but I was able to solve the problem of the guitar to buy in Costa Rica :p By the way, thanks for those that sent me some messages offering guitars. I am sorry that I wasn't able to respond quickly. I ended up going to a local luthier, called Martin Mendez. I bought a custom made guitar from him, and I had to wait a few months until he was able to do it. It was worth it, though. Price was close to 2200$. The guitar is beautiful, cypress for back and sides, outstanding german spruce for the top, cedar and ebony for the neck, and cocobolo for some details in the back, the bridge and in the head. Beautiful. The sound is amazing, and is super comfortable to play, and to me it has a very nice flamenco sound. So there you go. If you are in Costa Rica, make sure to google Mr Martin Mendez. He's super kind, and I ended up going more than a few times to check his shop, where we talked about woods, how flamenco guitar construction varies from classical guitars, and stuff like that. He also prefers to build flamenco guitars, so that's another cool thing hehe. He does not currently ship to other countries, but he's seeking options to do it. He has so many work, though, that he wasn't able to just make some guitars to offer... Thanks to all for the responses. I will post some pictures laterrrr. [:)][:)][:)]
