Default Raimundo A/E guitars.

Anybody here playing one? I'd like to hear about your experiences with them.

Thanks,

Bob

I had one. It was a cutaway all-solid classical in cedar and rosewood. It sounded wonderful, but the neck was like a tree-trunk, the action high, and the nut width the standard 2". It wasn't an ideal guitar for someone who mainly played steel-string instruments.

Thanks ewalling,

My local dealer carries some of the Raimundo line. He tells me (on the phone, he's 60 miles away) that he stocks various models up to roughly $2000. and that he would have to order the more expensive models. What price level was the guitar you were referring too?

I was hoping that Alejandro Cervantes would be attending the upcoming Montreal International Guitar Show in early July, but this is apparently not the case, according to the Guitar Shows' website list of exhibitors. Bummer. Hopefully though, a Cervantes dealer will attend.

It was around $1,150.
