the c3f i tried had pretty low action. it had, in my opinion, just the right amount of buzz. the bridge was very short/small, typical flamenco bridge, compared to the yamaha. your saddle must be very tall then. quote:
I would really like to hear more from people who have owned the C3F (or for that matter, any flamenco guitar), especially for an extended period. I wonder how long does it take for a guitar on average to start sounding better? i've read that it changes in two hours, then two weeks, then two months, etc. but of course, that's obviously a generalization. some people say they notice a difference after 15 minutes. the c3f i tried sounded really good straight from the beginning. out of curiosity, does your c3f have golpeadors?

My son has had his C3F for a year or so and it does improve with age and daily playing - but so does my son's experience!! It wasn't supplied with golpeadors - again another bit of very straightforward work to do.

Hey guys, many thanks for your replies! Well, I'm trying to play Flamenco guitar for only approx. a year now. I have a fine brazilian Di Giorgio at the moment, which is wonderful for playing Bossa, Samba, etc., but not so nice for Flamenco, hence, I'm looking for an alternative. The thing is, I'm really no good player, and therefore I think I don't need a really good guitar right now, and frankly, even if I were better, I wouldn't spend more than, let's say approx. €1000 for a guitar, because you know, I'm pretty sure if I had an more expensive instrument, I wouldn't play it very much out of fear of damaging it... Anyway, right now I'm just looking for a decent instrument with at least a little bit of Flamenco sound and feel. One problem is that in the area where I live there are no guitar shops that have Flamencos in stock, so I'll have to buy one from the internet, and you know, it's always a little problematic to buy an instrument "blind", without being able to play it first. So, I've decided not to pay more than approx. €500, and if it turns out that the guitar isn't that good, it's no big deal. The Navarro would be nice, but as I'm living in Austria, I guess it's no real option since the shipping costs etc. from the US are quite high... Anyway, again many thanks for your replies! regards, Domingo
