OVERALL OPINION

I possde a beginners since 2004.
There is nothing I dislike about this guitar!
This choice: APRS 2-year comparisons.
A must report quality price, sold + / - 2000 resellers in Europe ... slightly less in the maker (but not the same as the price of "60" that sells traditional + / - 1500 euros)
Practically, I think either there is a good standard to 500,
either you spend a minimum of 2500 between the two is the dsert ... except Picado!
Over time, yes, there is always better, I have a acqurir Vicente Carrillo ... but that's another budget ...
