Question about Rodriguez C3F flamenc...
|

|
Hello, I'm still trying to decide on what flamenco guitar to buy. I have two classical guitars, but as I said in my previous post, I'd like to begin working with a flamenco guitar. Since I don't want to spend a lot of my first flamenco, I'm not ready to go to a luthier at this point. I had been hoping to compare the Yamaha CG171SF to the Yamaha CG172SF, but no one has a 171SF anymore, so I've decided that I'd like to compare the 172SF to the Rodriguez C3F. So my questions are as follows: Would any of you recommend the C3F over the 172SF? Does the fact that the C3F has sycamore back and sides mean that it's not as true a flamenco as the 172SF, which has cypress back and sides, or is sycamore just as good as cypress for a flamenco guitar? I've heard that the C3F does not come with a golpeador, but I really don't care about that at this time anyway. I'd appreciate any recommendations or advice that you can give me. Thanks, Louis

Hi there, I hope you didn't read my reply as u being cheap, that was'nt my intention. I apologize if I came across as sayin that. What I meant was that as at_Leo said, because it has laminated sides, as you would know it won't make much of a difference. It's more for looks. And between that 2 guitars, they won't have a true flamenco sound so I suggested using a classical with lowered saddle for it if you have a low end classical. Since you have expensive classicals, that is a moot point for now. Just get one with good playability, and the best sound that u like. Don't get sucked in by th advertisement or people saying this guitars sound like guitars worth thousands more. It isn't true, because if it is, why are people not buyin the rodg and Yamahas instead of more expensive ones. Cheers mate
