Need advice on a guitar luthier choice
I am new to classical guitar and am seeking advice on two luthiers and their products.  Is anyone familiar with 1) Pavan guitars by Tom Prisloe or 2) Mangore guitars by Renato Bellucci?  I am looking for guitars in the 1000 - 1800 dollar range.  I am 60 years old and have been playing about 7 months.  Any advice is much appreciated.

Re: Need advice on a guitar luthier choice
By no means am I an expert on nylon guitar or guitars, but I did play a Pavan guitar in a
show that the owner kindly let me play, and as a basic novice to classical guitars, the Pavan
I played was just so easy to get a very good sound from. One reason that I never played much
nylon guitar was because all I had ever tried up till that night were basically toys. That Pavan
was just so good that within a minute or so I was not even thinking about the instrument at all,
just concentrating on the music. I no not of the luthier, but I always remembered that Pavan, and
how good it sounded to the audience, none of whom had any knowledge that I did not have the
real chops or nails for classical guitar. Hope this helps.

The Pavan guitars have a good reputation, the Mangore guitars by Renato Bellucci is a more complex issue. There have been many, many complaints about him, and some praise. Better do some research.
