An amazing value for money for those flamenco guitarists looking for an excellent flamenco guitar with that great authentic traditional dry old school flamenco sound in the price range below 2000 euros. This Santos Hernandez based model is made from old aged solid woods, finished in French polish and a fretboard in ebony…all really rare and unseen within this price range. Playability really is excellent with a comfortably shaped neck and low action. The top is made of solid aged Mexican spruce, the back and sides are made from gorgeous solid aged Mexican rosewood, palo escrito, that due its much more lower density compared to Brazilian or Indian palosanto, reflects a much more percussive negra sound with a low sustain that we flamenco guitarists love. All this resulted in an excellent flamenco guitar at an unbeatable price-quality ratio.

How to build an affordable, excellent flamenco guitar without sacrificing quality of sound and playability? Although no compromises were made in the quality of the superb craftsmanship, French polish, ebony fretboard, solid aged woods and bone nut and saddle the following measures were taken:
1) The top is made of master grade, aged sold Mexican spruce rather than the more expensive German spruce. 
2) The back and sides are made of master grade, aged Mexican rosewood rather than the more expensive Brazilian or Indian Rosewood.
2) Rather than adorn the guitar with artistic marquetry herringbone, multi-line purflings and bindings, the decoration used on this flamenco guitar is simple but elegant.
3) Instead of using expensive tuners, more affordable but good quality machines are used

Even the great USA based luthier Tom Blackshear has expressed his admiration for Francisco Navarro his work and art.
