Although I have not played either of these 2 models within the Paco de Lucia range, I have played others.
They are fantastic instruments. Highly recommended. Instead of posting meaningless forum banter, I suggest people respond with what they *know* and not what they speculate.
There is quite enough nonsense online, thanks...
Where although it may seem strange the idea of a player on an instrument, I have gotten past it. it would appear vain, or similar in frame of mind as what has been posted above, etc. But I suggest playing one prior to making the obvious comments....
Paco certainly doesn't need the money.
I recall reading within an interview with him at his home in Mexico recently this "signature" series. He stated too, " I certainly am not doing it for the money....I feel I can bring something special and different to the instrument."
He is doing it with his brother. They apparently oversee the instruments themselves, or rather, his brother visits momnthly (so I read) to check quality etc.
Above all, I *do* know that the instruments are made by luthier Vicente Carrillo, a very well respected luthier who makes impeccable instruments.
Aesthetically and in terms of sound qualities. He above all shines in his Flamenco work. The interior of an instrument is just as important as the exterior. His instruments are very well made and his prices are rising due to his recognition in this regard.
As they are made be Carrillo, well, they can place "Mickey Mouse" on the label if the sound and quality of the instrument are there.
Asking "should I buy one?" is a foolish question.
I suggest, as anyone should, you play them and forget all names. Choose what sounds best to *you*.
If you don't have experience, have your teacher choose for you. Post what you find and choose.
Best wishes.
