I have to buy a flamenco guitar for a beginner student of mine. His budget is $500 absolute max. I'm probably going to get him the Cordoba F7, which is just $500. Before I do, has anyone played or heard any opinions on the Manuel Rodriquez C3F? It's also exactly $500, so I thought I should check that out for him as well before i buy anything. Appreciate any thoughts.
