I love Plazuelo's Blanca’s and consider him to be one of the better Flamenco builders in Spain. This guitar just sings and makes you want to laugh out loud, it is that good and that much fun to play. Punchy, responsive, easy to play and with ample volume. I selected this guitar personally when I was in Spain visiting Plazuelo and others. I feel that Plazuelo guitars offer the player an instrument that is as good as any Reyes, but for one third the price. This guitar has every essential quality that a player seeks in a superb Blanca. As I mentioned all the guitars I get from Plazuelo are hand selected in Spain by myself, or by my good friend and guitarist who lives in Europe and flys to Spain to personally inspect and approve every guitar before sending to me. If it does not meet our standards, we leave it for others, and only accept the best. This was selected in that manner and is an excellent guitar for that reason.
