Just in case you haven't seen this in your research, flamenco guitars are different to classicals. They have lower action and a quicker attack. They sound edgier. I love them.

I can pick up my mother-in-law's Taylor acoustic anytime and don't have any problems with the change.
I looked on Cordoba's website, they list one of the three I'm considering, the GK Studio Negra as a flamenco guitar, the other two as crossovers, so I will be able to check one out that is considered a flamenco style.

Can you comment as to how important (or not) having solid wood for back and sides is on a nylon guitar?
