Yamaha CG172SF Nylon String Flamenco Guitar Satin Natural

If you are learning flamenco this is a great guitar. Ive played a few of my teachers guitars that cost much more than this and I don't feel or hear much difference. Before I bought this I bought a different flamenco guitar that cost twice as much but I prefer this one.

I ALWAYS GO IT TO DO VERY BEAUTIFUL WORSHIP SONGS

I am using as a classical guitar since I am not really a flamenco player but do use some flamenco techniques such as rumba. I love the tone and the frets and action are very nice. No complaints here.

I own a few Flamenco guitars in the 3K to 4K price range but now that I have a one year old baby boy I find that I'm just too paranoid to play them around him. To be honest I was looking for a budget friendly guitar but I didn't have very high hopes that this guitar would really sound all that great, but boy was I wrong. As soon as I pulled it out of the box I was surprised how light it is, and I really like the natural feel of the matte finish. The intonation is excellent, and the sound is probably the biggest surprise. I'm already very happy with the sound, but I am looking forward to putting a set of my favorite strings on it, and I'm sure the sound will only improve the more I play it..

This guitar is considered by many to be one of the best flamenco available I have had my Guitar for 10 years along with my Ramirez. I do not think that you can beat the price of this instrument I highly recommend it for everyday practice and . DESCRIPTION This guitar has a fast response and a big, woody, traditional flamenco sound. More precisely, the tone is clear and focused with a slightly dark texture - "Andalusian" in character - I truly love this instrument as it is durable and the finish stays constant It plays great - the extremely lightweight build give it a very explosive attack, it has a big, raspy sound. Ver Overall, a wonderful concert guitar of a great Yahama for the serious flamenco student player

I purchased this guitar two months ago on-line at Guitar Center because it is not carried in store inventory. I tried in in the store so I could return it if it didn't suit my needs. I previously tried Cordoba guitars in a similar price range and found the Yamaha to have a more robust tone; especially the base strings. I am trying to learn flamenco guitar from several books and DVDs and I have found the CG172SF excellent for that purpose.
