5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sounding guitar, better than a $1200 one, November 25, 2009

I tried this on a Guitar Center store, next to $1200 guitars imported from Spain, and I've got to tip my hat to the Yamaha. It's got the flamenco sound right of the bat. Next to it, I couldn't tell the difference between another expensive 'flamenco' guitar from an expensive classical. The CG171SF seems to have its own peculiar flamenco sound. Really low action (great for falsettas), and it can get loud at the same time. Feels pretty light which makes you think it'll break! Highly recommended.

I have an expensive handmade flamenco guitar, but just bought this for practice. I'm very pleased and impressed. Most important is that the action is terrific (maybe a bit faster than on my other one!), and very responsive to rasgueos (strums) of various kinds, which is essential. While the sound is quite modest in tone and strength, that's certainly to be expected in this price range. This doesn't pretend to be a concert instrument. But it definitely has a snappy flamenco sound. In short, it's fun to play--good for practice, for carrying around, for learning.

I didn't purchase this guitar from Amazon, but I wanted to make a review on this product. Owned this guitar for about 4 years now and still sound amazing. The action is low and is ready for some awesome jamming sessions. I put on Series 827 Hannabach Classical Flamenco super low tension string on and wow is it amazing. The string were bought from juststrings.com so if your interest there the web site.
