RE: looking for first flamenco guita... (in reply to jameswilliam)
The Cordoba C3M is not a flamenco guitar – it's a classical guitar. The Hermosa is not bad for the price, but you'll have to lower the action. Also take a look at a Yamaha 172SF.
But no guitar will "make you a good player." Only training and practice can do that.

thanks for the info.I think i will spend a little bit more and get a new Yamaha 172SF seems like everyone that has one is happy with theirs.I am a intermediate level guitarist ,but just beginning my journey in Flamenco guitar,so the Yamaha 172SF should work for me for a long time down the road.Cheers, James
