I played a couple of almansas. They are awesome.
Even those solid/laminated are just superb. Their quality is hard to beat. As you devote more time to CG, you will develop a taste and will be more aware of what you really need. From there, please dive into the second hand market. I got my dread guitar for half of the price.

It’s certainly a good deal better than I expected for the price I paid for it - but I am eyeing up some of the English luthiers such as Eden etc.

Clive Carroll told me he played a Woodfield when needing nylon so I called Philip. His wait list was 3 years at that time but, as is often the case, he had some clients who wanted to move on their "old" guitar for a new one. I ended up with a used Woodfield for a very reasonable price indeed. A mate who plays a lot of nylon said a great one can sound like a "grand piano". I had no real idea what he was talking about until I played that guitar. It bore no sonic resemblance to any nylon I had played before. I did end up getting on Philip's list and when that guitar finally arrived (after 3 years) it was astonishing. You have an insane amount of choice in the UK: In addition to those I mentioned earlier - Jake Fuller (Purnell Guitars), Pablo Requina, Rohan Lowe, James Lister, Oren Myers, the list goes on and on. Give them all a call and see who resonates with you. It's tough and competitive out there at the moment and you will end up with a great deal for a guitar made specifically for you, at prices way below those at dealerships. I'm very jealous: selecting a luthier is such great fun! Make sure you let us know how you get on. Cheers, Steve Last edited by steveh; 02-04-2021 at 01:26 PM. Reason: can't spell |

Thanks very much for the recommendations Steve - it’s a journey I am looking forward to (once I have the funds available - but that doesn’t stop me from researching..)
