This guitar is perfect for Flamenco when plugged into an amp. It is beautifully made and the sound is good. I can't see how the other person made out that it was unplayable! The action is a little high I would agree but the tone is lovely. You do need to buy a golpeadore plate for tapping.

This is a beautifully finished guitar. Quality construction from one end to the other. THE ONLY AND MAIN PROBLEM MAKES THIS GUITAR UNPLAYABLE. HERES WHY. THE WOOD ON THE BRIDGE IS ABOUT 3/8 OF AN INCH HIGHER THAN THE TOP OF THE FINGERBOARD!!! there IS NO WAY TO LOWER THE SADDLE ENOUGH WITHOUT IT BEING BELOW THE WOOD THAT THE BRIDGE IS MADE FROM. WHO DESIGNED THIS. ITS JUST COMMON SENSE. I AM NOT A LUTHIER BUT BASIC GUITAR DESIGN/BUILDING SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS MAJOR GUITAR BUILDING 101 UNPLAYABLE MISTAKE!! there is also no truss rod on this guitar. There is also no tap plate on this guitar which all flamenco guitars usually have.
Sound
Do not know. I can not play it with the 4.5mm string action!!!
Features
don't know
Ease of Use
It is impossible to use this guitar due to the super high string action on it which as stated can no way shape or form be lowered to a low enough string height as atrue flamenco should be.
