Re: Candelas Guitars

hello carlos,
ive been to candelas many times iv'e seen their guitars but to be
honest with you the sound isn't all that i mean they're pretty to
look at at but that's about it. their price range starts at 800-900
dollars and up. for that kind of money i can get a guitar with
magnificent sound and better wood for for much less. i'm just giving
you my honest opinion and i don't tend to bash candelas's guitars
it's just that the sound isn't there. i will be going to paracho
michoacan in the spring there i can find a guitar made of solid
spruce with rosewood back and sides for a lot less. well i hope you
still go to candelas i don't want to discourage you in anyway. just
check them out for yourself and let me know how your trip went. keep
in touch bro, manny
