Reminded by Red_Label, I still regret letting a C12 SP/IN go. Helluva guitar. Sure, I 'gave' it to my nephew, a talented musician, though, I had no idea that he'd actually fall in love with it. Dang. There, finally I have the answer to the often asked question, What was the one that got away?

My brother-in-law gave me the Yamaha CG172SF and it's a bit of a rude awakening. It's been a long time since I've played a 2" nut on a flat fret board. And I find the longer scale slightly daunting.
I come to the Yamaha from a custom Emerald classical guitar with a 1/78 nut width with a slight fret board radius. It plays and sounds like a good classical should. I'm going to persist with the Yamaha for a while. But I'm looking at other Flamenco options and have questions: Are there flamenco guitars with shorter scales, less nut width, with slight-radius fret board? Any help will be appreciated.

Cordoba GK's are easier to play than the Yamahas, slightly under 2" I think.
That said, if you really want to learn properly don't go much under 2". You can find lots of crossover nylons around 1 7/8 but if you really want to learn Flamenco techniques you are going to need the extra string spacing. These days I just laugh at people that complain that 1 3/4 nuts are too wide lol.

Hi Evan
Long time... I don't pass through here often at the moment because I have a 14 month old son who keeps us very busy, and I have little time for forums or playing. Soon though... Anyway, I am a huge fan of the brand Camps, if you can try one, it would be worth it.

Thank you Sir. Every time I turn around I find myself presented with yet another instrument I've never heard of. It seems like there are more guitars than stars. Thank you for yet one more star.
I also thank you for having turned me on to the Aquila Rubino strings. I am using them on my acoustic and electric Emerald guitars. They are very satisfying.
