Hey, howdy, I play the guitar. Mine's an Alvarez, but its made in Korea, or China, I think. I have played the Alhambrez(sp?) Spanish guitars in Spain. I play a lot of Flamenco, among many other genres.
Kelar419, check out Paco De Lucia. If your into more acoustic instrumental/contemporary flamenco stuff, you'll like him. Let me recommend his "Siroco" album, or else "Espana en una Guitarra" (with Segovia and Sabicas). He also did a great live album in San Francisco with John McLaughlin and another jazz artist.
Oh, one more thing. Quintos, what's that "fan" style of finger strumming that the flamenco guitarists use. Resguedo, Rasgado, or something like that? A friend of mine who plays guitar asked me about that yesterday. I know have it in one of my guitar books somewhere, but can't find out where! Thanks.
