Amalio Burguet 2F Flamenco Acoustic Natural 2003
Amalio Burguet 2F, made in Spain 2003, natural finish. Amalio is a luthier based in Valencia, Spain, offering traditional takes on classical and flamenco designs. The 2F is one of his more basic models, but, it's still pretty well appointed: all solid spruce and cypress, ebony board, classy hardware. It's lightweight and responsive in the hands, springing to life with every note. The tone is snappy and immediate, with a nice balance of airy mids and glassy highs. It would be very challenging to score a Spanish-made all solid flamenco for anything like this cash in this part of the world, new, used or otherwise, so this is a cool little ticket into that amazing world.
