I think thatâs the best idea, under the circumstances. I think youâre searching for a fantasy instrument, which is fine because it means youâre no different than many people. And you can easily get one, too, if youâre willing to pony up and fork over some serious money. But, to tell you the truth, you donât have to, itâs just youâre not ready, thatâs all. When youâve practiced enough and shopped enough to understand whatâs wrong with calling a lower cost instrument an imitation guitar, thatâs when youâre going to be ready to buy something. An enormous amount of flamenco music has been played on low cost instruments. Some of the sounds are based upon that. Iâve played some middle range Cordoba guitars that didnât give anything up to instruments costing ten times as much. None of them ticked any desirability boxes - until they were put up against ârealâ flamenco guitars in live situations and proceeded to kick their collective butts. They were made in China. The horror. The couple I am thinking about at the time sold for about the equivalent of âŹ500. They were real flamenco guitars in every aspect that counts musically. So, it sounds like youâre already where you need to be. With some more experience the process wonât be so overwhelming and youâll feel more comfortable spending what it takes to get an instrument you can cherish. thanks for reply. again valuable information. By the way, my friend's son flew to Malaga for a couple of days. He is coming back tomorrow. It is coincidence that I was asking question about malaga on forum and somebody who I am close to just went to Malaga for few days. If I see him tomorrow I will bombard him with questions. He will suffer ! ha ha . I think I will fly to malaga but not to buy the guitar but to see granada, marbela etc. I know this guy who is in malaga at the moment rented a car so I will have also information in relation to renting cars in malaga so that I can travel to granada by car.
