I'll start by saying that I am not an expert when it comes to classical or flamenco style guitars. I was looking for more of a cowboy/western/campfire vibe and this definitely delivers that in spades. The tone is full and round and much more mid-range focused than a traditional classical from what I remember. I can imagine that the thinner body probably has a lot to do with that.From a quality perspective, this is a fantastic looking, feeling and playing instrument. The neck is wide and action is set higher for the cleanest/clearest notes possible but still very playable. Love the color and design around the soundhole. My only ding is that it does not stay in tune very well. After leaving it for virtually any amount of time it drifts flat and the intonation of the G and B string is a bit questionable. However, this is definitely built in a more traditional fashion with no truss rod and straight bridge piece so some imperfections should be expected I suppose. Some string lube might help as they tend to get caught in the contact points on the neck/bridge.Overall I love this thing. It's a blast to play. The tuning is annoying but it's not so bad that you couldn't use it in any situation you'd want it for live, studio or jamming around the house. I also love the fact that it's made in Spain particularly for this price. Whether for latin or spaghetti-western music you will not be disappointed.
