Nice. Both guitars have the same voice pretty much. The only thing I can tell is the negra has more bass, but only when you actually are playing on the basses. The mids are strong and clear on both guitars. Nice work anders.
Thnaks Ricardo. Its highly appreciated. I´m a midrange man myself. Its a difficult range to work. Especially the high midrange. Thats where a lot of flamenco dynamics are. But its also where sound can get harsh or agressive.

Congrats to Kozz and Giambattista on the new guitars!! Glad they both arrived safely.
And a big thanks to Anders for continuing to record and share videos of his work - always nice to hear you play and with such fantastic sounding results, as per usual

Ok, guys!, here I am! …… after a morning spent with "Preciosa,", if my brain still works :-) , I'll try with few words to express my personal feeling of Her considering still the Anders "Blanca" I already had.- (I am not a musician so please, forgive the inappropriate terms):
- exact same easy playability, light weight, good “attack” , no buzz; perfect hight of the strings from the soundboard , super perfect action! - full and clear bass tones, - midrange and treble feels the role of "softening" of the Indian Rosewood, this way notes are little warmer (here is – to me- the basic different feeling from the blanca) but clear is their separation , - overall comes out , how can I say ...a "Warmer" sound/musical contest , however, the answer of the “attack” combined also with the speed of playng and the duration of sound, is the same as at the blanca, so SHE is really "muy flamenca"!
On the aesthetics and musical question, since we are talking about an instrument – GUITARRA FLAMENCA - , in consideration of the Luthier’s skill and artistic personality : again two words : BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT ! So at the end my desire to have a second guitar made by Anders has been successful and finally ended the "war" between my two sons ..... which a hundred years from now :- ), will inherit, the male the blanca and the female the negra … these were the terms!
I am having problems to upload photos, message says "picture too large"! :-( so just go for the best images on Anders Worshop web site.
THANKS TO ANDERS AND ALL OF YOU FOR SHARING MY JOY! :-)

Hi Kozz, congratulations with your new guitar! I saw it during my visit at Anders in October, and although not finished at that time it already was a real beauty. Can't wait to hear and see it in a video. Anders has just started building my blanca, so 2012 will be a good year!!! Groetjes, Geert.

Giambattista congratulations
Nice little review, A classical player I know have also commented on the sound of my own blanca from Anders, he said that he thought the guitar sounded incredibelly full and punchy and I cannot do anything else than agree.
But not only is it muy flamenco, It also makes playing romantic era music a dream for me, the guitar is a bullet but there is this very sensitive and very personal sound from the guitar, when I play it I feel like it is touching my heart, maybe this is your soul speaking to me Anders?
It is the number 85 guitar that I got this spring, And I have seriously bounded with it, its not even a guitar to me, its a companion, and my companion is a poet.
Just my own feeling about the guitars Anders build... It really seems he treats the wood with respect and he truly creates life.

No, at the moment I dont build 2A guitars. Because of my perosonal situation, I build less, so no time or economy for 2A guitars.
I know that Anders. I think that you're around number 90. I mean the guitars that you already made. Have you count and the 2A models that you made? In the past you had made me a 2A guitar. I want to know, if that is possible. what mumber is....
The guitar.

Kozz... Thats a very good review...
Gounaro, I cant remember the number of your guitar. I dont write things down. I´m not that kind of person. I just build and thats it. Its a journey into music and, sound, feelings and sensations. Your 2A must be sround 50 - 60

Τhanks Anders. You know, i had sold my guitar to a friend of mine and i got it back. My friend had an accident. So my beauty is mine again! I had a little break from my 2A guitar but it's a fate to be together again.
I'm very happy that i'm one of your older customers. Thanks again for your excellent work!

Hey Anders, is it possible for you to do a spruce and cedar top video comparison? Seems like that would be kind of cool. I own and have played quite a few cedar top blancas, but it may be helpful for some of these folks who don't know what to expect from cedar, plus I just love to hear your guitars. Nothing better than a damn fine luthier and a damn fine guitar!

Unfortunately I cant make a test of a cedar and spruce top blanca because I dont have any cedar tops here. I´m building a cedar top with cypress sides, but its a hybrid with another bracing system so you cant compare.
RE: Video of new Anders Eliasson neg... (in reply to Anders Eliasson)
Haven't been here for a while so just catching up.
I am amazed that my Anders is so unique. A blanca 2005 (Wonder what number that was!) siting beside me now and I swear it gets better every year. I have four other guitars but none are anywhere near its equal.
Hope all those with new ones get as much pleasure from them as I have had (and will have) from mine.
Nigel
