Jeff Sigurdson Flamenca Negra

Flamenca negra #415 by Jeff Sigurdson Nine months after joining his waiting list, I just received my new guitar! It really blew my expectations and I am willing to post a review of it. Features : • European Spruce Top • East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides • Spanish Cedar neck • 45 degrees headstock angle. • 12-holes tie block • Gotoh Tuners • 660mm Scale • French Polished • Came with a TKL Archtop case Action, Fit & Finish : • The polish is almost perfect. It could have been a little better around the fingerboard where it meets the top but everything else is perfect. • The action is awesome. Low, no buzzing except when pushed hard. It’s really easy to play and it’s as good as any high end guitars I tried at José Luis Postigo’s shop in Sevilla. It’s really fun to play. • Everything seems to be well done. The neck joint seems perfect. No glue squeezes anywhere. Perfect neck and fingerboard. • It’s very lightly built. It feels fragile but I’m sure it isn’t... maybe I’m just too caring because I just got it. Sound Quality : • When I got the guitar, the first thing I noticed was its power, especially from the bass strings. I thought they were overpowering the trebles and I didn’t really like that because my arpeggios sounded uneven. After a few hours of playing, the trebles opened up and now it’s very well balanced. • Everything sounds bright and clear. The sustain is good. VERY percussive and rich tone. I love its pulse! • It sounds better than a Felipe Conde FC25 and the Hermanos Sanchis Lopez 1F model I tried at Postigo’s shop. I can’t wait to see how it will turn out as I play it more often. Realibility/Durability : • I can’t say anything about that right now. It’s brand new and it looks very well constructed. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about Sigurdson’s guitars though. Customer Support : • Even though Jeff isn’t a computer guy and replies only very briefly to my emails (straight to the point), he’s always been reliable and has answered all my questions. Other Comments : • For the price I paid (2000$CAD + shipping), it’s just plain steal. I had high expectations, maybe too high considering the price range. I was so excited that I had a hard time falling asleep the night before, but the guitar meets them all in every aspect. Definitely a big step up from my homemade blanca. • I’ve never had the chance to try a Francisco Navarro or a Salvador Castillo guitar, but anyone looking to buy a guitar in this price range should really consider Jeff’s guitars. I highly recommend him and his guitars!
