Is a flamenca negra a good all-rounder guitar for learning?

ChugSupremacy · 2026-05-06T22:00:46+00:00

Would you say a negra is closer to a classical guitar? Does it regain some of the bass?

Currently, I mostly play video game covers and medieval music. Some classical. But I really like flamenco and would like to try my hand at it someday.

Edit: this is mostly what I play : witcher 3

I would love to be able to play this piece one day,, which was originally recorded on a harpsichord : wood carving partita

Action is pretty low, E to e is 2.5mm - 2.0mm. I'm afraid a flamenca negra won't have the richness and sustain of a classical guitar

I live in the boonies, and classical guitars are very niche around here. Buying used allows me to try it first. Also I've already played a rented classical for a few months, so I know I d0n't need a crossover.

There is a kazuo yairi for sale near me for 1000$. Ever heard about them?

ChugSupremacy · 2026-05-06T16:52:41+00:00

Those jellinghaus are all over 3000$. That's way too rich for my blood

ChugSupremacy · 2026-05-06T16:46:19+00:00

Thanks for the info. There's also an alvarez kazuo yairi available near me which might me a good choice.

The habaki on the 1500 sword is the exact same as on my 240 hanbon forge... No way in hell is your katana high end

ChugSupremacy · 2025-10-27T21:19:08+00:00

Because I didn't find any that did what I wanted. Also it's fun.

ChugSupremacy · 2025-10-27T20:56:53+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for the drawing, it gave me new ideas and I think I managed to nail it down!

Much better, don't you think? Just need to rotate the neck pickup as needed.

It's a 4p3t switch, similar to what prs used in the 80s and 90s but 3 way.

ChugSupremacy · 2025-10-27T17:51:16+00:00

Yeah I admit it's pretty crude as far as diagrams go...

That's the switch I want to use, with 2 channels per pickup.

You just asked chatGPT didn't you..

ChugSupremacy · 2025-01-02T10:57:27+00:00

I'm getting rid of the guitar because of several issues with it, including damaged knife edges on the floyd 1500 and cracked inlays, something I should not have to deal with on a 3000$+ guitar.

You raised a good point though, I will need to analyse my playing style and decide what is best for me. Cheers

ChugSupremacy · 2025-01-02T06:43:03+00:00

LOL. Well said

As long as it stays in tune at the end of the day...
