Best Raimundo Model 145 Cypress Flamenco Alternatives

Based on 2 reviews

This ''la negra'' is the second Raimundo I own, Raimundo Model 126-S Flamenco Spruce was the first one. To my surprise, both guitars are much more similar than I thought they will be. Both sound really, really good. It does what I want from a flamenco guitar and the factory set-up is perfect for me. That dark back stuns me every time, neck looks like milk chocolate and the top is the most intense orange I've ever seen. I'm very happy about this guitar. I hope the future is full of adventures for me and my Raimundo.

I bought this guitar online and it was delivered to a UK address within a week. I have been playing steel string acoustics for a while and wanted to try a nylon string. In all I’ve probably tested about 3 nylon and 10 steel string guitars over about 30 years. Anyhow this is by far the BEST! I love it. And I can confirm what a previous reviewer said “you can’t put this guitar down”. Very true. In fact it should almost come with a warning. Besides the tone I find it easier to play and it makes you want to rediscover older songs as they sound completely different and refreshed on this guitar. So yes I would strongly recommend this guitar.

I've been playing Electric Guitar for 20 years and wanted to learn playing Classical and Flamenco guitar.

On top of that it also has a lower action than a classical guitar which is something I really welcomed. What makes this guitar also suitable to not just Flamenco but also Classical guitar, is the choice of woods, specifically the top. It features a solid Cedar top which is very uncommon for Flamenco guitar. The Cedar top gives the guitar a more mellow and warm sound which is less bright and snappy than a Spruce top. The...

After I ordered this guitar I started reading reviews here and two were about very high action, so was quite nervous whether this was a right choice for me since was looking for a guitar with flamenco action, but not so harsh, but closer to classical sound. Out of the box the action was about 3.3mm and since the neck is straight and has a truss rod, and the bridge still high - I think I will lower the action even further. So no issues here. Otherwise the overall quality looks and feels very nice, no sharp edges on frets, the instrument right out of the box just feels right, looks beautiful and the sound is what I was looking for - smth between flamenco and classical
