I'm using Luthier strings. Usually I use 30 set but here is 35 set. I wanted to test that set and actually it works very well with this guitar! I have couple of other strings also which I will try. Usually it takes 5-10 sets to find out what works best with a new guitar. But it's only my experience. Every guitar needs different strings, so same strings doesn't work necessarily with every guitar. That's what I mean.

Here's a photo. I suppose it explains a lot :-) It's about 4cm high. The guitar is finished with French polish/Shellac.
Sami Koivisto wrote this about the guitar:
"This 'blanca' flamenco guitar is built using the traditional spanish method to give it the tone of pure flamenco. It has European spruce top with handmade rosette, Mediterranean cypress back and sides to give that mid-range push, Brazilian rosewood bridge, ebenholtz fretboard and cedar neck. Finished with French polish with shellac. It is light and responsive and features a low profile 12-hole bridge to make it suitable for flamenco techniques. The tone is open and balanced. It sounds great on both traditional and modern flamenco. I'm glad and honored to have it owned and played by the talented and amazing guitarist Joonas Widenius."
