Manufacturer's ID: GCG182SF

This model is a successor model of CG171SF made of Cypress laminate side/back and scratch plates to make authentic Flamenco sound and style of play possible. This authentic Flamenco guitar certainly satisfies needs of Flamenco players; moreover, its characteristics, such as lower action, great playability, quick response and attack, will definitely appeal to non-Flamenco style players like pop/rock guitarists.

New bracing pattern, thinner bridge plate

The new CG series features a new bracing pattern that delivers excellent response and rich resonance. These guitars also feature a bridge plate that efficiently transfers string vibration to the guitar top.

SpruceTop

Clear fundamental tone. Massive tone with great variation according to touch. Tone improves as the wood matures.

Stable Neck Condition

Necks utilize a strong 3-ply laminate design that resists warping and twisting. This design improves neck strength, offers greater stability against shape changes over time, and allows lower string height. In addition to providing greater neck stability, the laminated design also makes effective use of resources.

The matte finish on the back of the neck allows the left hand to move smoothly while also providing a secure grip. The finish is applied with a thin coat that contributes to improved resonance. The same matte finish is applied to the bridge for improved resonance.

Saddle Fit

Years of experience and original technologies have brought improvements to our saddle and saddle slot design. Crafting these components with great precision provides a highly accurate fit that improves attack and sustain while reducing string vibration loss to transfer rich resonance to the body.

Customer reviews

Overall Rating 4/5 (3 reviews)

A nice light and bright sounding guitar. I wanted a classical style guitar but with a better lower action, which generally flamenco guitars have. I do do a little flamenco style strumming but the guitar is good for all styles. The action isn't so low that the strings are buzzy, so that was a plus. The overall finish is good. The spruce top, but probably more so the cypress back and sides produce the brighter tone, much like maple would. The clear 'golpeador' (pickguard) is neat, functionable and well stuck down. My wife thought it was a piece of protective film that needed to pe pealed off :-) . The body is slightly slimmer than a classical body but soundwise I would say it's equally as loud. The only thing I would question is the absence of an adjustable Truss rod. The neck is very straight at the moment, which is great but whether it remains that way, time will tell. The neck is a three piece neck, so maybe it doesn't need a truss rod. Jury's out on that one. One of the stand out points is the lightness, which is really nice. Lightest guitar in my collection. Would I recommend it? Yep, I would. For a sub £500 guitar it's really good.
