Now, I am not sure are they in fact the same handcrafted models you were already talking about or this is something completely new?? When I was in the shop last week and asked the salesman for the price of the CGFL1 he replied its practically the same as CG-171SF, but they didn't have them in the shop, so I could not test them. I am not really sure now it this kind of a mix-up situation, as you stated the handcrafted Yamaha models are much expensive. Labdal, As far as I know, there has ALWAYS been a hand-made Yamaha Flamenco guitar, aswell as the cheaper factory made one. I can't quote a price for the hand made one, because it varies from place to place, but it IS more expensive than the factory made Yamaha as ALL hand made guitars are usually more expensive than factory made ones. I belive another member, "Skai" once tested the hand made Yamaha, but decided against buying it. The trouble is, why buy a hand made yamaha when you can buy a better hand made guitar from another luthier for the same price? BUT, if the shop you went to is selling the hand made yamaha for the same price as the factory made yamaha, then I would buy it... it may not quite be the best guitar, but for that price, it doesn't matter!
