xilddx Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) [b] [b][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I bought this lovely instrument last year from Guitar Guitar in Epsom. I tried loads including top range Taylors, Lowdens, Martins, I liked the Breedlove. Although a Lowden at about £3k really was glorious [/font][/size][/b][/b] [b] [b]Anyway, while on holiday last week I rediscovered my love of flamenco and now I want a nice Flamenco guitar. I can't afford to keep this steel string and get the flamenco I want. So she's up for sale.[/b][/b] [b]This is not the C25/SMe, this is the higher priced version, the SM. It was on at £849 in the shop but I knocked them down to £779. It includes the original hardcase which is beautiful, so lush I want to sleep in it but it's too small. It totally survived my flights to and from Italy last week on BA, but it now has a few minor scuffs. The guitar inside is mint and it looks beautiful, understated but with lovely design touches.[/b] [b]It plays very smoothly and very fast, low action with very light strings at the moment but it's still loud and projects really well. It's a professional instrument and it's beautifully made. The LR Baggs electronics are excellent and has an onboard tuner which is really useful.[/b] [b]Comes with the tags, allen keys, etc. Also included is a walnut Lute Hole feedback damper, and a spare set of DR Sunbeam roundcore strings which feel really nice to play and have a punchy but sweet tone.[/b] [b]I'd like £500 for it, collection only in West London at the moment.
