Thomann Classica Flamenco 1F

My first flamenco guitar, when I showed it to my friends and they listened to how it sounded wow they was very surprised. Because it sounds very dignified (I put the carbon strings from the Savarez). Dry and bright sound, I advise you to put carbon strings, those that are included (normal nylon - a dull sound - it is better to replace them). There are slight damage under the varnish on the side and a slightly badly traced black line in one place on the side. But it's all nonsense for such money to get such a guitar ... I'm very impressed! The guitar paddles that come complete with plastic and they are high, it's better to replace them with bone ones and set them low. Strings are installed through the guitar deck, very comfortable and beautiful looks! I put this guitar 10 out of 10. If you play a classical guitar, you definitely have to try it! Now this is my favorite guitar, thanks Thomann! I will advise this store to my friends, I am very happy with this purchase!

First off I bought this not to play flamenco music however think this is a lovely guitar. When it arrived i tuned the guitar up and spent two hours playing 19th century Carcassi & Sor studies. I think the guitar is delightful, very lightweight construction (lighter than a standard classical guitar), the sound somewhat brighter than a standard classical guitar....perhaps this is the maple back & sides and solid spruce top? Finish.......absolutely flawless.....I looked.....I could not find a flaw.....anywhere :-) Action comparable to a classical guitar which I actually like because I am not playing flamenco guitar. If I was playing Flamenco which I am not perhaps I may wonder why the guitar did not include a golpeador/low action.....however i do not care because i am playing classical. So why did I buy this? 1. for the aesthetics, 2. for change of tonal variety afforded by a flamenco 3. for the fantastic price. In truth this guitar would require very minor tweaks to suit a true affection-ado of Flamenco, lower the action, add a golpeador and it's perfect! The guitar 'as is' is perfect for my requirements. I can play classical or accompany in Latin style strumming with other instruments with perfectly acceptable volume acoustically. Tonally this instrument strikes me as being very acceptable and comparable to what you would expect from an instrument 2 or 3 times the prices from other established brands but this is rather what I have come to expect from Thomann........ namely great instruments at affordable budget prices.
