RE: cedar or spruce (in reply to Siroco03)

Hola Agree with Doitsujin. recently had the choice between a 68 cedar and a 80 spruce Ramirez. same price. got to play both. both sounded and played fantastically. The spruce was mint and the cedar had one small crack in the sounboard. Cedar is a much 'softer'wood, spruce more 'durable' the spruce guitar had more 'bark' while the cedar more 'nasal'. i ended up with the spruce guitar for several reasons. cant say one was better than the other in terms of sound or playability. just different qualities. my main choice was based on aesthetics, sound in the trebles and the age of the instruments. The spruce Ramirez is still 'opening up' as it has'nt been played much prior to purchase. This is a joy to behold.! in your case i would definitely go with the Navarro [fine guitars at a good price}. Have'nt been to impressed with the Lorca's at all.
