Cheap Vicente Sanchis- a good deal? 
Check this out:

Now firstly, I KNOW that its a CLASSICAL guitar and not a Flamenco one. But I'm just curious as to whether its a legitimate VS (My guess is that it is), and whether that is a good deal or not. You don't get much guitar for under £100 these days, so for a cheap "knockabout" guitar, it might be good, no?

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Jb

Well its probably legitimate unless the label is fake, but you can pick up a Vicente Sanchis classical brand new in the UK for around £110. I bought one myself years ago - paid fifty quid for it second hand.

The big question is what model is this, and the seller is unsure. Looks like 28 to me..... and obviously it depends on what the bid goes to.

You CAN get quite a nice student/knockabut classical brand new for around £100 though. Very different market to flamencos - much more competition, MUCH better value for money at the low end.

Thanks Jon,

The seller originally had a buy-it-now price of around £80, but when I made emailed him to ask for a close-up photo of the headstock he changed the listing to bids only.

Model number looks like "28" to me too, but I have no idea how much this model would usually retail for.

However, if you say similar models are available for just over £100 it doesn't seem such a brilliant deal.

Cheers,

James
