Our Flamenco N700F guitar is an excellent guitar for advanced Flamenco players or established classical guitarists looking to play Spanish repertoire on a more traditional instrume nt. The traditional flamenco guitar is made of Spanish cypress, sycamore, or rosewood for the back and sides, and spruce for the top. This accounts for its characteristic body colour. Flamenco guitars are built lighter with thinner tops than classical guitars, which produces a brighter and more percussive sound quality suitable for Flamenco repertoire. Less internal bracing is used to keep the top more percussively resonant. Volume and projection is very important for flamenco guitarists, as they must be heard over the sound of the dancers’ nailed shoes. To increase volume, harder grade tone woods are used for Flamenco models. This guitar is modelled on vintage Spanish flamenco guitars and has all the characteristics of a beautiful Spanish guitar - punchy and percussive tone with sweet trebles. This model has been played in concert by leading Flamenco guitarists including Adam Del Monte.
