Giorgio, how did you like the ‘traditional’ Savarez strings here and would you countenance the idea of using these ‘new-fangled’ carbon ones by the likes of D’addario? I think it would be great if you did a GI string test on a variety of the currently available classical and flamenco strings and also look at the different bridge tying methods to determine which are good and which bad – for example looping as espoused by old Augustine versus the twisting method shown on Savarez packs?

I dismissed this because it is a thinbody. I picked it up and played it at Sam ash. It was the loudest and clearest guitar in the room. Give it a try

The problem that I have with these guitars is their amplification system. It sounds like a piezo pick up and they always have this plastic twangy sound. I’m not sure if there has been any improvements in guitar amplification for nylon string guitars, but this one is too expensive to have that awful sound. sorry.

Cordoba makes a decent cheap guitar, Honestly not the best, being very light just makes them feel like cheap toys compared to an Alvarez. I would not buy another.

For some of us ‘wrinklies’ there’s precious little choice for an arthritic shoulder when it comes to classical or flamenco guitars with only this 55FCE and its predecessor the FCWE at less than 3″ deep (thank God for the pernikety Gypsy Kings and their on-stage requirements)! Does anyone else know of any ‘genuine’ thinline/slim-body acoustics either nylon or steel strung (even the PRS Alex Lifson is not really that ‘thinline’ at >3.5″)?

I’ve played GK Pro’s for 3 years now. If you prefer playing “unplugged”, the GK Pro is superior to the FCE or FCWE because of their deeper body. The FCE/FCWE need to be plugged in.
