RE: "Andalusian" Guitars (... (in reply to Ron.M)

Wow, al lot as been added to this thread since I visited. Yojimbo, 2 things you mention that I'd like to comment on. ... this thread is very long... you actually said that twice. The reason for this would be <infamous>. I want every new player to 'know' what they are getting if they buy such a guitar; actually that would be better said as 'what they are not getting' as no one really knows what they're getting... ... you don't understand why the marketing is so despised.... I think that the guitars are really really tied to the luthier name. Apart from factory guitars, guitars are sold using luthier names. When you buy a flamenco guitar, you buy a Reyes, or a Bellido. You know who stands behind them, their guitars is their life's work. Your fav guitars are totally opposite to this, they are even different than the big shops like Yamaha, you don't even know where your Andalusian are made. So your fav guitars are peddled in a way that looks like a scam to sell no name brands at an expensive price. And personally, I think they are. So you ask why so hard on Andalusian Guitars, I can't speak for others but while luthiers put their soul in their guitars, Andalusian Guitars are there to make a quick buck. These no-name guitars should be sold between $300 and $1000, that is the segment they belong to. And how can you compare guitars marketing to McDonald or Coke they are completely different products that have nothing in common. That is the same as comparing an Andalusian Guitar to a luthier made one. And finally, I found a Conde in my attick!.... and it's signed by Paco!!!..... and I don't even have an attick!!!!!
