Flamenca blanca

Hi,everyone:)

It`s my first post here ,I hope I`m writing in correct forum
I`m searching for flamenca blanca to for around 600 euros.
Below is a list of guitars which get my attention are:

Alhambra 3f,
Admira 4f,
Yamaha CG182SF,
Cordoba F7,
Camps M-5,

Can any share their experience if they had a chance to play on these models ?
In my hometown in all music shop there is only Cordoba F7 ,so I don`t have whole picture when come to the rest of guitras.

Thanks in Advanced.

I tried the Admira (pretty awful) and bought the Yamaha (excellent quality and playability). I sold it last year after learning on it for a bit, really excellent for the money, it's tone and volume are nothing to write home about but perfectly acceptable.

The more expensive Camps I tried were decent but I didn't feel any bond or excitement with them.

In an other thread the Yamaha $300 guitar beat a $9000 master piece in a blindfold test.

RE: Flamenca blanca (in reply to Ricardo)

Yeah I was so impressed with my Yamaha, so much better than the competition. It gave me the breathing space I needed to start learning on a very decent student guitar before investing in something more expensive. It was important for me to find out more about Flamenco and what I wanted in a guitar, through this patient experience with the Yamaha for about six months.

Then I bought a Juan Montes Rodriguez 1a peg head (without playing it first) from a guy on Reverb in Spain, really nice guitar which I like a lot. Not as easy to play as the Yam, but it sounds really nice. Sold the Yamaha.

Then about a year later I bought a gorgeous 1988 Antonio Ariza from RobJe on here. It is truly wonderful. It's having a little French polish restoration to the top and a new golpeador, so I have missed it, but when I get it back in a couple of months it will have been worth it.

I thoroughly recommend the Yamaha Flamenco, it is a fantastic way to start.
