any best value for money for a flamenco guitar?

[hopkinWFG]

ohh... cause the problem is I dont know how a flamenco guitar should sound like... before buying I may wanna have a clue of how a traditional flamenca sounds like... the azahar 131 is pretty much tempting as it offers some of the closest flamenco specs huh? cypress back and sides cedar neck amd spruce top ?
just have no idea if its consistent and good sounding as a flamenco ... my country sells it like 700sgd singapore dollars is still ok on my budget list ...

If you can play both the Azahar and cordoba the choice would pretty much be yours ...
Much the sameness in Essence ..
Also Esteve if there are any around

Best of luck

The Golpedor is thin
Will check the pic but the several I've seen and played are fitted
Not the thicker type as used on concert models

Hard to describe sound
But
Look for attack not sustain
Even midrange no overpowering basses
Some growl in the basses some sizzle in the trebles

The azahars are a bit of an unknown but comparable with the cordoba

Apologies for the multitude of options
I have a lot of flamenco students so have seen a few guitars over the years in that price range
I guess it's good to gather opinions etc before you buy
But ultimately be great if you had the instruments in your hands to try
No easy task with flamenco guitars

haha.. no problem with that its good to have a wider brands of flamenco guitars there and to zoom down the better valued for money for a starter guitar... thanks alot for your recommendation...

i may want to know the know how to check on the setup and neck angle of the flamenco guitar thus knowing getting the best build out of them.. if your kind enough to link me up on how to check for the setup, string height, nut height, bridge height, neck angle of what a decent flamenco should be?
