devilhand -> Yamaha CG182SF (Nov. 12 2019 18:35:52)

Does anyone have experience with Yamaha CG182SF? As the name suggests, it's the follow-up modell of the best-selling Yamaha CG171SF.

Price 449€
650/52
spruce solid top
laminate cypress back and sides

Before I start practicing seriously, I need an entry level flamenco guitar. I have an old 3/4!!! classical guitar.
Speaking of the size, what is the normal scale length and fretboard width of a real flamenco guitar?
I read somewhere 650/52 is not the real size it's smaller??

Should I buy it or should I try some other guitars. Since I'm located in Europe, there are other Made in Spain guitars in that prce range 400-500€
like:
Prudencio Saez 17 Flamenco-Gitarre
Raimundo 126 Palosanto Flamenco Gitarre

However, I found Cordoba classical guitar. Not a flamenco guitar. To me, upgrade is the size. It's bigger. I guess some adjustments are needed I guess.

What's the difference between neck thickness and nut width?
This Cordoba has nut width 52, neck thickness 23.

Other features of Cordoba:
Cedar solid top
No info about back and sides. Some kind of laminated wood
Price went down from 235€ to 144€. I can't believe that a solid top guitar can become that cheap.

52/650 is common for classical guitars, and in general flamencos might be a little more rather than less, like 53/660. But there I are also 52/650 flamencos out there too.

I played a CG172SF in the store a long time ago. I remember thinking it felt more flamenco than the first version. The neck felt a lot better. but not necessarily better sound. I have the first version, which is more like a classical guitar. If you were close by I’d give it to you.

I like the Cordoba line for cheaper guitars. Even the classical C7 would work fine. The only thing is the bridge height is too high on most low end models.
