Hi Haithamflamenco, I was in your situation for years. I had an amazing classical guitar, and I have always used it to play flamenco. It had always bothered me however that I could never get the sound and always thought that all I had to do was lower the action to the point that the guitar will eventually buzz like a flamenco... boy was I mistaken... Nothing replaces a real flamenco. I now own 3, two negras and a blanca, and believe me there's a world of difference. The flamenco sound is not just a classical guitar tone with a lot of buzzing, it's something of its own. The low action is only part of the magic, just one of the many ingredients that make a flamenco guitar so special. My advice is IF you are really interrested in flamenco, do not waste your money in trying to set up your classicals in a 'flamenco way', just sell them and get a good flamenco (good beginner flamenco guitars are not that expensive anyways, try Alhambra, amazing value for money). Hope this helps.
