Hi Stevie,

Edit :
OUPS, sorry I don't know why I've read "Vicente Sanchis". Thanks Thomas..

About the Ricardo Sanchis, I played several from the sons Ricardo Sanchis Carpio, and found they were really good guitars for the money. A low end blanca was good but I remember a 1F Palosanto which was very good.. And the good thing is that there are many available, new or second hands, at really bargain prices...

But there is also a lot of models availables, and as it's a rather "large production" brand, I will advice you to buy with a test drive or with a return policy. I think Tom Nunez here on the foro is selling this line of guitars..(lafalseta.com)
And you will be able to hear one Ricardo (the father or the sons, i don't know), played by Ricardo

in the upload section...

Saludos-

You would have to compare the Francisco Naverro negra to a Sanchis negra.

I have played all the Francisco Naverro and Ricardo Sanchis Carpio models.

The difference? Day and night would be one way of putting it. I am a fan of the Ricardo Sanchis guitars. Do not confuse them with Vicente Sanchis, who is related but that is another story.
