how come you won't just buy a real flamenco? or do you have one already? i vaguely remember something about a ramirez...

putting on a tap plate is a pretty simple procedure.

Hee MD,
you've got a collection of guitars all around the world, why not collect them again, keep the one you like and sell the others and buy another great flamenco guitar.

The only thing I could think of if spend 150, its bagger, somethings wrong with it, or you are extremely lucky.

Or just sell everything you dont need, and get some guitar! You are complaining way too long now that your guitar needs to be fixed etc.
Action time amigo!

A bucket off....?
I don't know what to say man, and I certainly do not want to sound like a parent, but.....make a choice!!!!

The FL2 can be fixed, my FN sounded like sith when playing in the sea, but after taking good care of it, its perfect again.

All those small things have givin you temporarily satisfaction, but what you want is a GOOD guitar for lifetime pleasure...then go for it.

I can understand you sometimes wants to give up, 3 notes on a flute, a 4 sting pussy oud, a classical guitar, a plingplong keyboard with foxtrot etc.
From the things I heard from you, you are a good guitarist, so why not support yourselves with a good guitar, which gives you inspiration.

It helps to set a goal for yourselves what you want to achieve....and uuuh, it can't be everything, so you have to make another choice.
Damn, life can be hard when you have to face yourselves and make a choice in it, isn't it?

Sorry for my lecture amigo, I know you just want a good guitar, than thats the way to go. One less world travell and you already have your guitar, but than again you haven't seen that part of the world

(damn, another choice).

Yes I am back from spain unfortunately. And yes almost every guitar at gigs sounded great, but most of it was also the atmosphere and the mojito's.

As Anthony said, you've got quite some standard....why not cut the price in half and find a decent guitar in that range.

many many guitar builders there so no hurry, the lorca is great at the moment, i mean a bellido in the future , i payed an 89, 87, 79, all were brilliant

although i focus on a few instruments , i adore the guitar (thats why im typing here) , and be so nice to have a good one

it be great to be back in granada leo - bit of money needed before hand for me ,

i played few local guys guitars , i liked the manuel bellido owned by Jorge "el Pisao,

there are prolly better guitars about but i like the snappy sound that it had , and a real amount of depth to it
